Kaipara District Council has thrown a lifeline to community halls, awarding $11,781 to the Maungaturoto Centennial Hall and $8361 to the Hakaru Community Hall, among others.
In Kaipara, many community halls are not funded through rates. Instead, community members fundraise privately to keep them well maintained and their doors open. Halls were especially hard hit by Covid-19.
A further $9825 has also been awarded from the Council’s rural travel fund to sport teams to attend competitions and events. Recipients include Mangawhai Beach School’s swimming and rippa rugby teams, and the Otamatea Netball Club.
Funding of $12,642 from the Council’s Creative Scheme has been awarded to six applicants.
Successful applicants include Topaz Johnson for a new public mural in Paparoa and Te Kopuru School for upcoming Matariki celebrations.
