Local Heritage Grant Program 2025 to 2026
The Local Heritage Grant program supports property owners by providing funds to assist in conserving and enhancing their heritage places, improving the surrounding streetscape and locality, and fostering a greater understanding of heritage significance and upkeep.
If you have recently carried out work to conserve or enhance a listed heritage building, or a building within a heritage conservation area, you may be eligible for a Local Heritage Grant of up to $3,000, offered on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
The aims of the grant are to:
• Encourage works to heritage items that conserve and enhance their heritage-significant aspects.
• Support works to contributory buildings in heritage conservation areas to strengthen their contribution to the area’s overall heritage values.
• Assist residents by helping cover the cost of conservation works.
• Foster greater interest in and awareness of heritage conservation within the Byron Shire.
• Promote a positive community attitude towards protecting and celebrating heritage in the Byron Shire.
