Small local improvement projects (SLIPs)

About small local improvement projects | Online proposal form


SLIPs are small projects that can help to improve local surroundings or provide opportunities to the community.

These projects can be proposed by individuals, or community groups who are often in the position to identify needs and opportunities in their area.

SLIPs funding is allocated by  Local Boards

Examples of possible projects are:

  • school safety travel plans
  • tree planting, weed removal/re-vegetation and park volunteer activities
  • anti-graffiti murals
  • playgrounds
  • basketball courts

SLIPs can also be in the form of a grant. If a grant is awarded, it will be for no more than 49% of the total value of the project.

If yes, please complete the online proposal form. Contact us if you would like more information about SLIPs funding.
