The Provincial Growth Fund will play acritical role in our Region; Hanmer Springs recently received $3.1m towards domestic tourism to improve the thermal pools and Kaikoura received $10.88m for the Wakatu Quay and South Bay Developments which are important for employment and growth. Covid-19 has presented major challenges for our local economy. There are many affected sectors such as hospitality, tourism, accommodation, retail, construction and the small to medium sized businesses within that. Primary sectors such as viticulture, seafood, aquaculture, farming and forestry will be critical for our recovery. Afocus must be on stopping business closure, job losses and providing support to our communities around mental health. Parts of the Kaikoura electorate are reliant on tourism activities and it will be vital to showcase our region as the gateway to the South Island. There are major opportunities with offshore aquaculture -the resilience and growth of primary industries can be ensured with favourable government policies and the right investments into key strategic assets. 2313584 Fitness challenge ...
