AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL Heritage and HERITAGE Grants PROGRAMMEs Australia’s unique heritage is central to our national identity; it underpins our sense of place and makes a positive contribution to the nation’s wellbeing. By protecting our heritage, we conserve valuable community assets and ensure that those places, traditions and stories can be experienced and enjoyed by future generations. Australia’s National Heritage List includes places that help define who we are and tell the story of our nation’s past, to the places that reflect our evolving heritage and where we are going. To be included on Australia’s National Heritage List under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act), a place must have one or more National Heritage values (as defined by section 324D of the EPBC Act). A place can be included on Australia’s National Heritage List for the following types of National Heritage values: historic heritage values; Indigenous heritage values; and natural heritage values. This programme will provide funding to support conservation, protection and management activities for historic places on Australia’s National Heritage List. The Australian Government is providing funding over three financial years to help protect and conserve places on Australia’s National Heritage List. Funding will be delivered through two separate programmes: the Protecting National Historic Sites Programme, and the Community Heritage and Icons Grants Programme. The Protecting National Historic Sites programme has funding of up to $11.5 million (GST exclusive) available over three years from 2014-15. Up to $1.28 million (GST exclusive) is available for 2015-16.
