Heritage grants now open

Owners of heritage properties in Eurobodalla can apply now for grants to help them restore their pride and joy.

Eurobodalla Council has grants up to $5,000 available for projects that will enhance individual places, buildings and historic streetscapes and will promote appreciation of Eurobodalla’s history.

Council offers the Local Heritage Places Grant program every year to raise awareness of heritage conservation, with a funding contribution from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

Successful applicants will need to contribute one dollar for every dollar provided by the grant, and the restoration work must be completed by May 2017.

Applications close on Monday 4 July 2016 at 4pm.
