NEW GRANTS TO PRESERVE OUR NATION’S HERITAGE

Regional communities will be among the key beneficiaries of a new $5.3 million Morrison Government funding round to protect and preserve Australia’s national heritage sites, promote tourism and deliver much needed economic stimulus for COVID impacted economies.

Round 3 of the Australian Heritage Funding Grants Program will focus on conserving privately-owned national heritage places, many of which have faced significant visitor downturn and temporary closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Heritage site owners, managers and support organisations are invited to apply for grants of between $25,000 and $400,000 as Australians focus increasingly on domestic tourism opportunities.

Funding can be used for a range of activities to protect and strengthen the natural, historic and cultural values of a site, or to enhance visitor experiences that encourage people to share our national heritage treasures.

Applications for the 2020-21 grant round are open until 7 January 2021. To find out more and apply, visit: https://www.business.gov.au/assistance/australian-heritage-grants.
