It has been two months since Cyclone Gabrielle wreaked havoc on Tairāwhiti and many in the tourism and hospitality sectors are still doing it tough as the recovery continues. In the immediate aftermath of the cyclone, Trust Tairāwhiti, as the region's economic development agency, supported the sectors with financial assistance in the form of business support grants. The fund was administered using an independent panel to assess applications, with more than 660 grants made to businesses in Tairāwhiti.
