Auckland Council is expected to vote on how to address storm-damaged publicly owned land across the city on Thursday.
A group of Titirangi residents told the council in October that they had fallen through the gaps of recovery funding from the 2023 Auckland Anniversary floods.
They said their properties were at risk because of slips on publicly owned land, such as accessways.
A flexible approach and a deadline was needed, Tony Proffit from the Stickered Titirangi Areas Residents Group said.
The residents wanted a streamlined consenting and licensing process, and funding, to restore storm-ravaged road reserve land, he said.
Residents had been waiting in limbo for the council to provide those affected with a detailed plan of action and a clear solution, the group said.
The land is managed by Auckland Transport, which is only funded to maintain the road corridor, not surrounding land.
The residents do not qualify for buy-outs, and they cannot repair the land themselves without facing consent hurdles.
Auckland Transport estimates there are at least 50 homes in this situation, likely more.
The council's transport, resilience and infrastructure committee is expected to meet on Thursday morning.
