The Government has committed $12.3 million towards a flood recovery package for Nelson.
The deal will see the Nelson City Council contribute a similar amount, subject to council agreement.
The Nelson floods were the worst in the region's history, bringing down slips and forcing up to 200 people from their homes.
The package is similar to others in storm-ravaged areas of the North Island, with money to buyout about 14 properties which can't be fixed, as well as funds to remediate16 slips which threaten properties.
There's also support for families forced from their homes and paying rent and mortgages after their insurance-paid support for rent ran out.
Nelson MP Rachel Boyack spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
