Mahurangi action plan
Landowner assistance fund
MAP has a Landowner Assistance Fund (LAF) which has grants available for improvement and restoration projects that will help to:
- protect and enhance land, streams and waterways
- reduce the potential for silt (sediment) run-off and build up.
These projects could include fencing fencing-off streams, waterways; undertaking riparian planting; retiring erosion-prone land; and changing land management practices.
To review the full list of criteria, please refer to the Grants Funding Guide for Applicants document attached below.
