Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Minister for Regional Development: Further to reply 24306 (2026), does the reduced scope of the Far North District Council jetties project reflect the Rangitāne component not proceeding, and how much of the funding allocated to that component has been spent or returned to the Crown?

Hon Shane Jones: Yes. Kānoa – Regional Economic Development & Investment Unit (Kānoa) is currently undertaking the contract closure process. Any unspent funding will remain with the fund’s administrator, Kānoa, and could be reprioritised and reallocated, or returned by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment to Treasury, as required. In regards to paid funding, this information can be found in the full list of all Kānoa – Regional Economic Development & Investment Unit managed projects on the Grow Regions website: www.growregions.govt.nz/established-funds/what-we-have-funded.
