$250K in funding awarded for heritage conservation projects

 

Eighteen historic South Australian buildings will benefit from $250,000 in State Government funding to help cover the cost of conservation work.

$250K in funding awarded for heritage conservation projects
St David's Hall received funding under a previous grant round to restore the roof of the building.

Round 2 of the Heritage Conservation Grants aim to preserve the state’s built heritage to ensure these important places can be enjoyed by future generations.

Recipients of the latest round of funding include Renmark Hotel, Mindacowie Guest House at Middleton and an original miner’s cottage at Burra.

St Peter’s Cathedral in North Adelaide will also receive $20,000 for the repair and reinstatement of its ‘Last Judgement’ window.

The funded works include structural stabilisation, ceiling repair, wall restoration, plumbing and stormwater management.

The grants range from $1000 to $20,000. In most cases, funding is provided on a dollar-for-dollar basis to successful applicants including private owners, companies, local councils and community groups who are owners of State Heritage Places or owners or businesses situated within a State Heritage Area.

$250,000 in grants are made available each year over what is a 10 year program. For further information visit www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/heritage-grants
