LOCAL HERITAGE PLACES FUND 2018-19 APPLICATIONS OPEN

A local Heritage Places Fund has been established by Tenterfield Shire Council with contributing funds from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. The aim of the fund is to encourage as much positive work on heritage items and items in the Heritage Conservation Ares as possible. The fund will enable applicants to undertake sympathetic repairs to their properties which are consistent with generally accepted heritage principles. Replacing like with like, repainting properties in their original colours, using recycled or traditional materials where possible and undertaking research on the history of a property before undertaking repairs are key ideas which are encouraged by the program. The local heritage fund funds projects:

for conservation and maintenance works

to meet Building Code Australia upgrades (fire, services, and access) for ongoing and new uses

for heritage items and items in conservation areas in the Tenterfield Local Environmental Plan 2013.

This year Council is calling for applications from across the Shire, with submissions closing on Friday 20th July 2018. Application forms and Guidelines can be obtained on Council’s website www.tenterfield.nsw.gov.au or by visiting Council’s Rouse Street offices.
