After the flood Rotorua Lakes Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council co-commissioned an independent review of the flooding and the circumstances around
it.
An advisory panel, led by Judith Stanway and including Te Ururoa Flavell, Rob van Voorthuysen and Kyle Christensen, met with members of the community affected by the floods.
When the review was announced, Rotorua mayor Steve Chadwick said it was important to Rotorua Lakes Council to learn from the events of April 29.
"It's important we understand what happened and what contributed to that so we can improve our ability to deal with adverse events and minimise the impact on our residents," Chadwick said.
