- Over 26 years Heritage Grants Program has provided over $25 million in funding
Owners of State Registered Heritage Places can now apply for grants to conserve their properties, develop heritage conservation plans, cultural landscape plans or feasibility studies.
The $1.221 million program includes projects that aim to revitalise heritage places - encouraging people to rediscover and enjoy history - and projects that proactively respond to natural disasters, support economic recovery, and create local or State jobs.
The 2023-24 Heritage Grants Program budget is $1.221 million, with $1 million allocated for the State Heritage Grants funding stream, and the balance allocated for the Community Heritage Grants stream.
Eligible not-for-profit organisations, businesses and local governments are encouraged to apply for the Community Heritage Grants that assist innovative community engagement activities or interpretation projects that promote or celebrate a State Registered Heritage Place or local heritage listed place.
Last year's Heritage Grants Program attracted 45 applications, with 32 for the State Heritage Grants stream and 13 for the Community Heritage Grants stream. Thirty-eight grants were offered in total.

As stated by Heritage Minister David Templeman:
"The Heritage Grants Program supports physical conservation works to protect our heritage places and community engagement activities, as well as interpretation projects that celebrate our past and engage the community to learn about our unique history.
"I'm pleased that the Heritage Grants Program can again fund conservation projects that support conservation and generate economic activity throughout this diverse and exciting State.
"Whether you're a heritage owner or a local heritage manager, I encourage you to review the grant information and apply."
