Details

The Ian Findlay Path Fund (IFPF) supports the improvement of local path networks within and between communities, making it easier for people to choose to walk, wheel or cycle for everyday journeys.

The fund supports projects that clearly demonstrate that they will make it easier for people to travel actively. They must also meet at least one other of the program outcomes. These are:

• To improve accessibility of existing paths
• To improve resilience of paths
• To improve use of existing local path networks through development of new link paths
• To improve safety and increase community confidence
• To increase community of core path and local path networks
