Great Barrier Island has a new Department of Conservation base at Okiwi, rebuilt and redeveloped following damage in the June 2014 cyclone.
Following the storm DOC has invested more than $2.5 million repairing tracks and facilities on the island.
Meanwhile, community trusts on Kotuku Peninsula, which includes Glenfern Sanctuary, and at Windy Hill Rosalie Bay have received funding of $108,000 to advance conservation work.
Rare species such as the black and Cooks petrels, pateke and chevron skink cannot survive without intensive pest control.
