Pritam Singh asked for the amount of Community Improvement Projects Committee funding applied for and allocated to each grassroots adviser and Citizens’ Consultative Committee from FY2016 to date.
Lawrence Wong explained that the CIPC funds HDB estate improvement projects like walkways and playgrounds, with budgets allocated based on HDB units and requiring CCCs to co-pay 10%.
Town Councils must agree to maintain completed CIPC projects on common property before construction begins, ensuring long-term upkeep.
Comparisons of CIPC funding across constituencies are not meaningful due to differing resident needs, so CCCs decide on project selection.
The CIPC allows grassroots groups closer to residents to choose projects that best meet local needs.

Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for National Development how much Community Improvement Projects Committee funding was applied for and allocated to each grassroots adviser and/or Citizens' Consultative Committee from FY2016 to date.

Lawrence Wong

The Community Improvement Projects Committee (CIPC) provides funding support for improvement projects in HDB estates for the benefit of local residents. Such facilities include covered walkways, footpaths, playgrounds and bicycle racks.

The CIPC sets aside budget for the Citizens' Consultative Committees (CCCs) each year based on the number of HDB residential units in each constituency. The CCCs can decide how to utilise these funds for their projects, and have to raise their own funds to co-pay 10% of the project costs.

As the Town Councils have to maintain the completed CIPC projects that are built on HDB common property, the CCCs also have to seek the Town Councils' agreement to maintain the infrastructure before construction work can commence.

It is not meaningful to compare CIPC funding across CCCs as every constituency is different and their residents have different needs. This is why the CIPC generally lets the CCCs, who are closer to the ground, decide on the selection of the projects to best meet the needs of the residents.
