Hinerangi Tuahine

Hinerangi Tuahine is a long-time resident of Wairoa, having lived in her home for over 50 years. Recently, she has faced significant challenges following severe flooding in June 2022, which required extensive repairs costing $234,000. Despite these costs, her property value has plummeted from $205,000 to $100,000, raising concerns about the fairness of property valuations and the burden of increased rates amidst financial hardship.
