Hon SHANE JONES (Minister for Regional Economic Development): The dispenser of the provincial panacea has the following to say: during the COVID alert period 4, phase 4, great work took place to recalibrate and repurpose the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF). I can announce, as of today—because digital connectivity is incredibly important and many areas in New Zealand were left neglected in a former period of nine years—places including Murupara, Gisborne, Katikati, will now enjoy the presence of five new digital hubs. In addition to that, last week, over $439 million worth of investment in 60 PGF projects began to work in earnest after moving into level 3. That is evidence that this Government is quick on the fiscal trigger. We have also seen iconic projects that were neglected, unfortunately, but brought to life by the Provincial Growth Fund in the form of the Hundertwasser Art Centre, the Taranaki Crossing, and the Westport Airport seawall—places in those areas of New Zealand that have suffered far too much neglect in the period of time of the former regime.
