The New Zealand Walking Access Commission administers a contestable fund to support projects aimed at enhancing access to New Zealand's great outdoors. This fund is known as the Enhanced Access Fund.
The first funding round of the Enhanced Access Fund was held in 2010, resulting in funding being allocated to 12 access-enhancing projects across New Zealand. A second round, held in 2011, resulted in funding to 18 projects around the country. Click here for a media release about projects that received funding in 2011.
