Sport New Zealand Rural Travel Funding
Kaipara District Council and Far North District Council both receive investment from Sport NZ to administer a Rural Travel Fund.
The Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund is designed to help subsidise travel for junior sports teams (5 to 19 year olds) participating in their local sport competition. This is to help ease the barrier and increase numbers and opportunities for children in playing or gaining skills in sport.
Kaipara District Council and the Far North District Council support travel to sporting activities. To find out more, click on the links below.
Those who don't fit the criteria of the Rural Travel Fund administered by the Kaipara District Council or the Far North District Council are welcome to apply for Tū Manawa Travel funding here - see information below on Tū Manawa Travel Funding:
