Hon STUART NASH (Minister of Tourism): Last Friday, on our first Matariki public holiday, myself, with the Associate Minister of Tourism, Hon Peeni Henare, announced the sixth round of recipients for the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. This fund has played a key role in supporting infrastructure that many districts can't afford by themselves. This round was particularly special as it was the first time that funding criteria included an explicit mention of infrastructure to support the delivery and management of Matariki events. Round six of the fund invests over $15 million into 62 projects across 34 councils and community organisations around the country to help address tourism infrastructure needs, including future Matariki celebrations.
