Grants to revitalise WA heritage places

A former gold boom warehouse in the heart of Fremantle’s West End precinct is among 23 Western Australian heritage projects to receive funding under the State Government’s 2017-18 Heritage Grants Program.

The grants program, overseen by the Heritage Council of Western Australia, offers dollar-for-dollar funding for grants of up to $100,000, including conservation plans to help guide works.

The Heritage Council’s grants program is one of the few grant programs in Australia that assists private owners with the costs associated with maintaining heritage places.

Since the Heritage Grants Program’s inception in 1997, 768 heritage projects have received grants totalling more than $19.5 million.
