On Friday 22 October, the Government announced a support package for Auckland businesses affected by alert level restrictions, and as the country transitions to the new COVID-19 Protection Framework. This package helps Auckland businesses access:

• advice and planning support
• support to implement advice and planning
• health and wellbeing support
• business community resources

Activate Tāmaki Makaurau has been set up to connect existing Auckland businesses with that support. It is an opportunity to assist the business community to navigate the current environment and build more resilient businesses by supporting them to work through tough decisions, seize future opportunities and adapt where necessary to enable businesses to thrive.

How does it work?

1. Business Advice

The success of the Activate Tāmaki Makaurau programme has seen over 6000 Auckland businesses receive support since registrations opened on 1 December 2021.

Due to this demand, Business Advice support is now closed for funding applications as of 4pm on 22 March 2022.

New registrations for Activate Tāmaki Makaurau Business Advice closed as of 4pm on 17 February 2022.

2. Implementation Grant

We are no longer supporting new registrations for Activate Tāmaki Makaurau Implementation Grants as of 4pm on 24 February 2022.

For businesses that registered before 4pm on 24 February 2022, please note that funding is limited and not guaranteed until businesses have successfully registered on the Activate Tāmaki Makaurau portal, requested a proposal/quote from a service provider, and had their funding applications approved via email.
