More money for rural hubs


The Government says it’s backing rural communities across New Zealand by investing in a growing number of rural community hubs, including one in Kaipara. Hubs are set up by local people responding to local needs.

These could be anything from a mothers’ group to education programmes for young farm employees.

The rural community hubs programme is part of the Government’s Fit for a Better World roadmap, which aims to support strong, sustainable rural communities and grow the food and fibre sector workforce by 10 per cent by 2030.
