The annual plan also includes environmental initiatives such as investing in minimising the effects of what's known as forestry slash, the off cuts of forestry which can be washed in waterways, blocking them and causing floods.
Other environmental initiatives include work being carried out by the Esk River care group, nourishment protection at Cape View corner in Haumoana, and the Hawke's Bay Biodiversity Foundation.
These projects are additional to core council services such as such as roading, water and rubbish collection.
Hastings Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst said the initiatives which received funding will help make Hastings an even better place to live.
"While it's important that we focus on delivering safe, reliable, effective core services, we love this time when we hear from our community about projects that will make a difference for our people.
"We received some exciting submissions and are delighted to accommodate many of the requests within the budget for the coming year."
