Upper Hunter MP Michael said the funding would help local communities across the state to know, value and care for heritage.
“I am pleased to announce that Liverpool Plains Shire will receive $40,000 for a Community Based Heritage Planning Study; Mid Coast Council will secure $10,000 for the Gloucester Heritage Review and the Upper Hunter Shire Council will collect $40,000 for the Upper Hunter Shire Aboriginal Heritage Study,” he explained.
“Looking after our heritage is everyone’s responsibility and local communities play an important role in maintaining heritage at a local level.
“The 2018/2019 grants saw $740,000 awarded to 20 projects state-wide across three streams: Aboriginal Heritage, Community Heritage Projects and Local Government Heritage Planning Study.”
This funding round marks the 40th anniversary of the state-funded heritage grants program.
