Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: Funds will be used to unlock additional investment, further business cases, support community initiatives, and pay for local staff to support the ongoing transition process. In Taranaki, a significant engagement programme has been undertaken to deliver regional economic development plans that set the strategy for the region through to 2050, and this new funding will support implementation of these plans. In Southland, we're working closely with regional stakeholders to identify priorities and projects that can support the transition following the expected closure of the Tīwai Point Aluminium Smelter in 2024. Currently, the focus is on strengthening relationships and part of a broad-based partnership with the Murihiku collective of rūnanga, councils, mayors, unions, and industry.
