Grants of up to $15,000 are available on a dollar for dollar basis, including financial or in-kind contributions.

Owners of properties within the heritage overlay, both individually significant and contributory to a heritage precinct, are eligible to apply.

“The funding from last year’s grants program was used for a variety of projects across the region, including works at the original post office building in Mooroopna, Pine Lodge Uniting Church and St Germains Homestead in Undera,” City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali said.

Grant applications can be lodged until Friday, September 8.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss the proposed works with council’s free heritage advisory service.

To make an appointment with a heritage advisor, contact council’s Building, Planning and Compliance Department on 5832 9700.
