Kickstart your sustainability and resilience project
At the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, our work guides and supports the region's sustainable development. This is focused around four outcomes we're working towards for the community; a healthy environment, freshwater for life, safe and resilient communities, and a vibrant region.
This fund helps support the work we do, and we invite all schools, kura, kohanga, kindergartens, early childhood education centres and other education organisations across our rohe to design and plan a sustainability and resilience project.
