A council-controlled organisation that receives millions of dollars in local government funding has secured a large chunk of a community initiatives fund. The Bay of Plenty Regional Council met on Wednesday to discuss its Long-term Plan deliberations, which included the allocation of $200,000 through a Community Initiatives Fund. Another $200,000 was considered for enhanced community engagement and participation plus $500,000 to better support local volunteers.
Tourism Bay of Plenty Low Carbon Economy will receive $60,000 and Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital will receive $40,000 per annum from the Community Initiatives Fund. A total of 28 groups applied for funding.
