Rural Halls Maintenance Fund
The Rural Halls Maintenance Funding scheme is designed to
assist with the building maintenance of halls in the rural
and plains areas of the Hastings District. It does
not cover ongoing operational costs or capital development.
The policy for funding is, as a general rule, that applications
for more than $500, a maximum of 50% of the project cost,
will be funded. It is expected that the applicant will fund
the other 50%.
For projects requesting less than $500.00, it is up to the
discretion of the Rural Halls Subcommittee as to what portion
of the monies will be granted.
Marae may no longer apply for this fund. See Marae Development Fund for marae funding.
