Subject: Official Information request - Jobs for Nature Funding - Porirua Riparian Planting

MFE CYBER SECURITY WARNING
This email originated from outside our organisation. Please take extra care when clicking on any links or opening any attachments.

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://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...).

According to the press release (https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...) 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
