The city sits in the lower southern valley of the Te Awa Kairangi/ the Hutt River, one of the most significant features of the city. The Hutt River runs from headwaters in the Tararua Ranges and outputs into Wellington Harbour. The combination of heavy rain along the length of the Tararua can create a potential high flood risk for Hutt Valley.
