Apply to the heritage restoration fund

Applications are now open

We recognise the value of helping property owners to protect and manage significant:

  • homes
  • buildings
  • trees
  • gardens.

Appreciating the importance of our significant areas of interest, restoration incentives are provided under the following two categories:

  • Heritage Restoration Fund (Buildings and Works)
  • Heritage Restoration Fund (Trees and Gardens).
     

What the funds cover

The Heritage Restoration Fund (Buildings) provides owners of identified heritage properties to apply for a small grant. This will help with the maintenance and restoration of significant buildings and other places of interest.

The Heritage Restoration Fund (Trees and Gardens) provides owners of significant trees and gardens with help either to:

  • undertake appropriate maintenance works
  • obtain a suitable water supply to provide for the longevity of these trees and gardens.
     

Amount of funding available

A total of $35,000 is available across these two funding categories. We’ll generally provide funding for approved work on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to a maximum amount of  $3,000.
 

Properties eligible for funding assistance

Most owners of properties in the Heritage Overlay and the Vegetation Protection Overlay (Schedule 5) will be eligible to apply for funding through the appropriate Heritage Restoration Fund.
