We are working with Tairāwhiti businesses and central Government agencies to support the economic response and recovery of the region.
Business support grants
Update: 15 March 2023
The Government announced a further $25 million in grants to support businesses in cyclone-affected regions around New Zealand.
If you have:
applied for a business support grant and are awaiting a response;
already received a business support grant; or
been declined a business support grant
Please do not apply again. This will create duplicates, slow the process and will not change the outcome of applications.
Once we receive confirmation of the amount allocated for Tairāwhiti, the independent panel will resume assessing applications. We are working to process payments as quickly as possible. If you applied and haven’t heard back, please be patient – we’ll be in touch soon.
Mental health support Te Waharoa on 26 Peel Street is an access point for individuals and whānau in distress or need mental health support – no appointment needed, just walk in.
