Your+Unit+Finances

Coastguard receives funding from government as a result of the Service Level Agreement. Southern Region requests funding from CNZ as part of the annual budget process to assist our units. This funding is estimated to provide only 13% of the total operational costs of Coastguard annually.

The regional board has determined that the region will distribute the funding it receives for its unit on the basis of need. . The Treasurers meet each year in February and make a recommendation to the regional board which is part of the regional budgeting process.

Units receive a contribution towards their administration and operating costs from Coastguards Lottery Grants Board funding.

Units can also claim, using the form below, a contribution towards their local training costs including fuel. A contribution towards the cost of repairs and maintenance for vessels, launch infrastructure and air patrol equipment is also available. This funding is made possible by Lottery Grants Board and service level agreement funding.

This does not replace the need for Coastguard units to receive support from local funders and their community. This funding is only 22% of the total budgeted expenditure of the regions units.
