Local Heritage Places Fund 2025-2026

Tenterfield's Mainstreet

 

Local Heritage Places Fund 2025-26 – Applications Open

A Local Heritage Fund has been established by Tenterfield Shire Council with funds from the Heritage NSW.  The aim of the fund is to encourage as much positive work on heritage items in the area as possible. The fund will enable applicants to undertake sympathetic repairs to their properties which are consistent with 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 National Construction Code 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 Wednesday 3 September 2025. Application forms and Guidelines can be obtained on Council’s website www.tenterfield.nsw.gov.au or by visiting Council’s Customer Service staff at Council’s Administration building at 247 Rouse Street, Tenterfield. For further information please contact Council on 02 67 366 002.
