The government has allocated $500,000 to support flood relief activities in Northland.
The move comes after a once-in-500-years storm struck the region on July 17 and 18, causing flooding and millions of dollars of damage to homes and buildings.

The move comes after a once-in-500-years storm struck the region on July 17 and 18, causing flooding and millions of dollars of damage to homes and buildings.
Internal Affairs Minister Tracey Martin said organisations providing services and projects supporting flood recovery efforts will be able to request for grants from the fund from today.
“The Lottery Grants Board recognised the considerable impact that the flooding has had on the communities of Northland and so funding will be available to support impacted community facilities, marae and community organisations that are providing welfare support in the region,” she said.
Department of Internal Affairs, which administers Lottery funding on the Board’s behalf, will be working with the region’s local councils, iwi, hapū and other key stakeholders to assess how the funding can be used and how it will be distributed.
The assessment of community need is at an early stage, and grant money is not available to individuals who have suffered personal loss or property damage.
The Board has previously provided funding to support community responses to natural disasters, including the Tasman fires, Edgecumbe flooding and the Christchurch and the Hurunui/Kāikoura/Marlborough earthquakes.
Damage caused by recent floods in Northland that have been called a once in 500-year event are expected to cost insurance companies millions of dollars.

Now the platform is back as Policy NZ, providing us voters with a complete guide to the NZ Election 2020, including the policies, parties, candidates, and (coming soon) referendums. The Policy NZ team summarised 900+ policies from 550+ documents and speeches, and surveyed 500+ candidates across every electorate.
Research from the Electoral Commission shows that one in three non-voters cite ‘not knowing who to vote for’ as their main reason for not voting. Now there's no more excuse for not knowing - and for the roughly two thirds of us who vote the same as always, for whatever dubious reasons, it might be a chance to double-check that we're still supporting the right bunch, and to care and think before casting our votes.

Do you think the government’s support goes far enough?

Do you know someone sharing the veggies they've grown with their neighbours?

Nominate them today, and tell us why they deserve to be this year's Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year.
