Overview
The Highland Investment Plan (HIP) is a £2.1 billion, 20-year capital investment programme to improve schools, roads and local infrastructure throughout the region.
The plan is funded through a combination of borrowing and a 2% ring-fenced allocation of Council Tax revenue.
Projects focus on modernising the school estate, reviewing assets which should be retained, refurbished, repurposed or replaced, and delivering public facilities that meet the needs of communities now and into the future.
A key element of the HIP is the creation of community hubs, known as Points of Delivery (PoDs), supporting a move towards a single public estate incorporating schools, council services and partners into modern, integrated community-based facilities.
