The Tararua district has secured an extra $250,000 through the MPI to increase support for communities likely to be cut-off during extreme weather events. The funding is part of a $35.4 million package announced in Budget 2023 to support the recovery of rural communities affected by the North Island weather events, including Cyclone Gabrielle. Federated Farmers Tararua President Sally Dryland says her region has already secured a much needed $1 million from the fund for urgent maintenance and resilience works on affected farms. She joins Mark Leishman on Round Up.
