There is a significant amount of damaged tanalised or treated timber posts and wire from horticultural and viticultural properties since Cyclone Gabrielle. While thousands of these posts have been collected since the cyclone, the HBRC Taskforce has partnered with Repost to repurpose these posts into Sustainable Fencing to be reused. Federated Farmers are then donating these onto the local community. It’s a team effort.
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council has collated some helpful FAQ to help.
