Auckland Transport analysed 215 landslides from 2023 storms, showing prevention is far more cost effective than recovery. Preventative works cost as little as 15–30% of recovery, aligning with global findings. AT has shifted towards resilience-focused design, with modelling showing $670M in prevention could save $2.2–$4.4B over 10 years. A 30-year resilience programme now guides future planning and investment.
