Why not apply for a heritage grant?

Minister for Heritage, James Griffin said the NSW Heritage Grants program was now in its 44th year and, for the first time ever, a $1 million matched funding grant program will be trialled.

“The $1 million matched funding grant trial is designed to protect and promote NSW heritage by incentivising owners and custodians to revitalise state heritage listed sites and bring them back to life,” Mr Griffin said.

“We want to see applications that engage communities in our rich heritage, contribute to wellbeing, and support economic activity within local areas.

“The Heritage Grants are all about revitalising some of our most meaningful places in NSW, and preserving them for our future generations.”

The 2023-2025 NSW Heritage Grants program’s six categories include: The new Activating State Heritage Grant where one successful applicant will be awarded $1 million in matched funding.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Grants where applicants can apply for up to $80,000.

Caring for State Heritage Grants where applicants can apply for up to $150,000.

Community Heritage Grants where applicants can apply for up to $50,000.

Emergency Works Grants to help address emergency situations at state significant sites.
