Neighbourhood Project Fund
A fund which gives up to $1000 to groups or individuals for community projects, where the group matches that amount in-kind (labour, donations of products or services etc). Some of the projects which have been funded:
Over the Fence
Created a visual map to South Invercargill with a list of the top ten attractions as decided by our community. These are available to residents to give to newcomers to the community in order to encourage connection and engagement with new neighbours.
