Nelson councillors have held a meeting with local government and emergency management minister Kieran McAnulty today.
Many residents still haven't been able to return home after heavy rain last month led to widespread flooding and numerous slips and landslides.
Nelson mayor Rachel Reese says the city has made some good progress but it's been incredibly difficult.
RNZ's Nelson reporter Samantha Gee is covering the meeting and spoke to Māni Dunlop.
