Auckland Council is accepting funding applications for Regional Historic Heritage Grant Programme.
Individuals, iwi or Māori groups, community groups and trusts can apply for up to $50,000 for the preservation of heritage places.
“Auckland has many heritage places which all contribute to making Tāmaki Makaurau a unique and vibrant place,” planning, environment and parks committee chair Cr Richard Hills says. “To ensure these taonga live long into the future, it’s important that they are maintained and preserved.
The funding priorities include:
- Conservation of regionally significant historic heritage places, including places in a historic heritage area.
- Conservation of at-risk historic heritage places, including initiatives which address the impacts of climate change.
- Supporting kaitiakitanga of Māori cultural heritage places.
An online workshop to learn more about the grants will be held this Tuesday, August 20, from 12.15pm to 1.15pm. RSVP by emailing grants@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz for the calendar invite.
Applications close on October 7.
