Jobs for Nature Funding - Porirua Riparian Planting
Brian Warburton made this Official Information request to Ministry for the Environment
The request was successful.
From: Brian Warburton
Dear Ministry for the Environment,
On 7 April 2022 Minister Parker announced central government funding would be given to a project to undertake restoration riparian planting in Porirua (https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK2204/S...).
According to the press release (http://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/jobs-...) this funding would amount to $3m and be provided under the Government's 'Jobs for Nature' propramme.
This central government funding would supplement funding from Porirua City Council ($4.8M) along with some unspecified financial contribution from Sustainable Coastlines.
In this regard, please provide me with a copy of the application made to, and approved by the Ministry, for funding which I presume was prepared and submitted by Porirua City Council.
Thanks
Yours faithfully,
Brian Warburton
