In quarter 4, National Government will give us the final detail of what will be included within the fund, and we will shape our offer accordingly and will bring the Day 1 support service to Cabinet for agreement to commence on 1 April 2026. This ensures there is no break in crisis and critical services whilst the longer-term resilience programme is developed to align with the new criteria.
