Applications can be made for minor repairs and maintenance such as external painting, roofing, restoration of timber windows and awning replacement across heritage sites in the region.

Grants between $1,500 and $5,000 are available, with matched funding to be provided by the applicant. Council currently recognises more than 450 individually listed heritage items and four urban heritage conservation areas in the Mid-Western Region.

Applications open on Friday, 4 August and close Friday, 1 September.
