Applications for the 2023/2024 Heritage Conservation Grants Program are closing soon, and residents are reminded to submit their application for funding to help preserve our region’s history.
The annual Grants Program, run by Greater Shepparton City Council and the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee, aims to promote good conservation practice through works that improve the physical integrity or appearance of a place, while being respectful of the place’s significance.
Grants of up to $15,000 are available, on a $1 for $1 basis, which can include financial or in-kind contributions. Owners of properties within the Heritage Overlay, both individually significant and contributory to a heritage precinct, are eligible to apply.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the Heritage Grants Program was an important one for Greater Shepparton as it helped ensure places of heritage significance in the region were maintained and restored.
“The funding from last year’s grants program was used for a variety of projects across the region including works at the original Post Office building in Mooroopna, Pine Lodge Uniting Church, and St Germains Homestead in Undera,” he said.
“I encourage anyone eligible to apply for this year’s program. The funding can be used to help preserve our region’s diverse cultural history.”
Grant applications can be lodged until Friday 8 September 2023. Applicants are strongly encouraged to engage with Council’s free Heritage Advisory Service to discuss the proposed works. To make an appointment with a Heritage Advisor, please contact Council’s Building, Planning and Compliance Department on (03) 5832 9700.
