The Living Heritage Program provides $30 million over four years to safeguard and reactivate Victoria’s key heritage resources.

The Program is an initiative of the Victoria State Government to support the repair and conservation of ‘at risk’ heritage places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register under the provisions of the Heritage Act 1995.

The third round of the Contested Stream of the Living Heritage Program opens on 1 February 2018 and to assist applicants, Heritage Victoria is organising a series of Information Sessions across the state. 

Eligible grant applicants include owners and managers of places or objects listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. This may include community and not-for-profit organisations, local councils and Committees of Management. Places of worship and heritage places under private ownership may also be eligible and require matched funding. All projects must meet public accessibility criteria and demonstrate a significant community benefit.

Not sure if you’re eligible? Visit the Victoria State Government website, send an email, or come along to an information session to ask your questions in person.

Please RSVP via email stating the session/date you’re attending, your name and organisation (if relevant).
