The Government is investing in regional economic growth and sustainable tourism by supporting the installation of e-bike charging stations on 2 New Zealand cycle trails, with more regions set to benefit through an upcoming second funding round.
The Government is investing $2.6 million into 152 regional events across the country. Events are excellent drawcards to get more visitors into our regions, particularly in quieter parts of the year for the tourism sector.
The Government facilitates access to language assistance services, such as interpreting and translation services, to help clients with limited English access public services and information.
In 2023, the Government passed a new law for self-contained vehicles to better manage the impacts of freedom camping on our communities and environment.
