Associate Transport Minister James Meager announced a $5 million Government investment in new container-handling equipment for Gisborne’s Eastland Port to boost economic opportunities and regional connectivity. This funding, from the Coastal Shipping Resilience Fund, aims to support local businesses, improve freight resilience, and enhance the region’s ability to handle disruptions like those caused by Cyclone Gabrielle. The investment is expected to attract new trade, create jobs, and help double the value of exports from Tairāwhiti over the next decade.
