The Seacourt Park & Ride extension is filling with water again as river levels in the area rise. Last year the facility was closed for a total on 101 days, much of this due to flooding or the risk of flooding, though towards the end of the year it remained shut even when not wet. In the planning application for the site, the City Council estimated that the extension would be closed on average 10 days a year due to flooding. The facility was called ‘essential infrastructure’ at the time of the planning application. OFA opposed the plans, which involved a small loss of floodplain capacity.
