The program was launched in 2017, in association with the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee, to improve the physical security or appearance of a place, while respecting its significance.
It is the first program of its kind to be undertaken independently by a council in regional Victoria.
“Council thanks all the applicants for their efforts in the preparation of their applications, and for their work to enhance, protect and conserve these significant buildings across the municipality,” mayor Kim O’Keeffe said.
“Some of the works awarded this year included repainting, brick repairs, and verandah and roof restoration. Congratulations to all of the successful applicants.”
Council said following the success of the 2017-18 and 2018-19 grant rounds, it expanded the program’s budget for 2019-20.
It received 47 applications which is the highest number of applications received since the program started.
