Long-term road repairs from Auckland storms Long-term road repairs from Auckland storms
Repairing the damage to our local roads sustained during the 2023 flooding and cyclone events
During the storm events of 2023, more than 2,000 slips and roading issues were reported across the Auckland region. The flood repair programme is expected to take 2 to 3 years to complete and will cost $390 million.
Around 1,200 small issues and slips were resolved quickly, leaving more than 800 sites in need of minor to major repairs. The number of sites needing minor to major repairs may change slightly over time as the design and investigation of each site develops.
Reported sites and slip repairs as of 31 May 2024:
- Total number of sites: 2,003
- Small issues and slips resolved quickly: 1,200+
- Sites needing minor to major repairs: 826
Of the 826 minor to major repairs needed, 548 have been completed to date (66%). About 36% of these were major repairs while 79% were minor.
Road closures as of 24 June 2024
Across Auckland, 12 local roads currently have full closures in place, 28 roads are open with a single lane, 3 roads are open under restrictions and 7 roads are open to residents only. This remains fluid and will change throughout the days and weeks.

We ask for your patience, as sites across the region have sustained significant damage. Locations that have the highest risk, safety needs or are the only access route to a community are being prioritised for attention.
In some locations, we’ve been able to provide a temporary fix, such as one-lane access for residents or the wider community, until we can permanently rebuild the road.
We understand that road damage causes inconvenience to residents, due to detours and road closures. We want to reassure the community that we’ve deployed as many resources as we can, including additional contractors to work on these sites, but some roads will take time to fully repair.
If there are roading issues with a potential safety risk (for example, new slips, cracks in roads, flooding, or trees falling over roads or cycleways), call 09 355 3553 or report the problem online.
