Community Projects (Object D)

Object D allows community projects to provide and maintain public parks, spaces and public amenities that can be enjoyed by the public for leisure or entertainment.

A variety of community projects under category D of the Landfill Communities Fund can be funded. Projects range from playgrounds to public parks and renovations of village halls to pond creations.

All projects should fall within 10 miles of a landfill site.

A public park, space or amenity must be one that is open at times convenient for the general public and for appropriate periods. The minimum public access requirement is for 4 evenings or 2 full days every week, 84 days a year.
