The eight entries include a Māori medium environmental education programme, a refresh of a co-management agreement, two renewal projects for sites of cultural significance, the codesign of a run-down community park, a programme to support preparedness on remote marae, supporting Māori businesses to get involved in transport procurement processes, and a Māori relationships strategy.
