Coromandel MP Welcomes Grants to
Protect Kiwi & Kauri
MP Scott Simpson is
welcoming two new grants to help protect Coromandel’s kiwi
and Kauri.
Mr Simpson says the kiwi care project
Whenuakiwi has been awarded $25,000 for predator control in
the eastern Coromandel, and Kauri 2000 Trust has received
$57,000 to help prevent the spread of Kauri Dieback disease.
The grants are from the Community Conservation
Partnership Fund which provides funding to community-led
conservation groups for natural heritage and recreation
projects. Scott Simpson MP says ‘These grants support
the good work these local groups are carrying out in
Coromandel communities to protect our precious flora and
fauna.’ Mr Simpson says ‘The grants will support the
groups’ continued successes in targeting predators that
threaten kiwi, and in raising awareness to reduce the risk
to Kauri.’
The grants were announced by the Associate
Conservation Minister Nicky Wagner during her visit to the
Coromandel on Wednesday.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
