Communities to benefit from Enhanced Access Fund

Published 30 June 2011

Eighteen projects designed to enhance access to New Zealand's great outdoors have been awarded funding through the Walking Access Commission's Enhanced Access Fund.

More than 40 organisations across New Zealand applied for a slice of the $230,000 made available in this year's funding round. The fund contributes to the Commission's goal of free, certain, enduring and practical walking access to the outdoors.

New Zealand Walking Access Commission Board Chairman John Forbes said 2011 grant recipients had submitted strong applications requesting funding for projects ranging from bridges and track extensions to maps and booklets.

“The list of successful applicants covers a wide range of groups from across New Zealand, from Northland to Otago, and all have strong community support.â€
