Rodney Local Board has approved spending $219,000 on its annual infrastructure and environmental services work programme, most of which goes to ongoing positions or projects.
The programme includes $70,000 each for a Restore Rodney East facilitator and a Rodney West coordinator, to support and assist with region-wide community pest management initiatives; $20,000 for the Rodney Healthy Harbours Riparian Restoration Fund; and $14,000 for the Shorebirds Trust coordinator programme, which provides protection for birds including fairy terns between Te Arai and Pakiri North.
