Previous Grants in Thames Coromandel

Last year we gave nearly $200,000 to eight Coromandel projects.

That included nearly $40K to the Coromandel Independent Living Trust to set up a nursery to grow eco-sourced native plants for local projects and to train up local rangitahi.

We also funded plant and animal pest management and restoration work at Whiritoa, Tuateawa, McGregor Bay, Rings Beach, Long Bay and Kapowai Valley.

  1. Hello Cr Tegg,

    I am a resident of Paeroa and keenly concerned about climate change and the impacts of climate and sea level rise on the Hauraki Plains. You mentioned a while back that Hauraki DC has produced a set of policies and actions for climate change. I’ve tried to get a copy from them but so far without success. I would be very grateful, if you have an electronic version, to have you forward a copy to me.

    Kind regards
