A Dunedin building company is lifting houses in a flood prone suburb by as much as a metre to prevent future inundation.
Two major reports for the Dunedin City Council have concluded that half of all South Dunedin buildings are at risk of rainfall flooding.
Southern Repiling is receiving an increasing number of requests from South Dunedin homeowners wanting to lift their houses above the flood risk - with one house on Baker St being raised 90 centimetres.
Director Dwayne Hubac has been repiling homes for 18 years and speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
