Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN (Minister of Conservation): Kia orana. I can say it was a good day for conservation, a good day for the taiao, and a great day for Northland on 29 July, when I announced a portfolio of 12 Jobs for Nature projects for Northland as part of the Government's acceleration of the economic recovery from COVID-19. The investment of over $20 million will deliver real gains for both nature and the communities right across Northland. The projects will total 324 jobs. These are expected to be established over three years, while upskilling locals to move into other employment opportunities beyond the life of the project.
