When your project is starting to get off the ground, the last thing you need is a delay in your funding being released. If you follow the proper steps delays are less likely to occur.
- Ensure your contract has been signed and initialled by two representatives from your group or organisation and sent to Environment Bay of Plenty
- Ensure any pre-release conditions stated in the contract have been met.
- Contact your project officer (stated in your contract) to discuss the project, your plan and its implementation.
- Send a completed Funding Release form with a tax invoice to Environment Bay of Plenty. Please note that your invoice cannot be processed without the completed form.
