Local Heritage Grants 2025-26

Before you start your application please ensure that you read and understand the Local Heritage Grants Guidelines.

The annual Eurobodalla Local Heritage Grants have been established by Eurobodalla Shire Council to assist property owners to carry out restoration works to listed heritage properties throughout the Shire.

There is a total grant pool of $25,500 in the fund made up of $19,000 from Council and $6,500 from Heritage NSW.

This program will help preserve our shared heritage, raise awareness of the importance of heritage conservation to the community and promote the benefits of heritage generally.

If you have any questions in regards to the guidelines or eligibility criteria, please contact:
