Aucklanders passionate about preserving the region’s heritage can now apply for support through Auckland Council’s Regional Historic Heritage Grant Programme.
Grants of up to $50,000 are available for projects aiming to conserve heritage buildings, archaeological sites, and culturally significant places across Tāmaki Makaurau. The funding round is open from July 21 until September 15 and individuals, iwi, community groups, and trusts are encouraged to apply.
Councillor Angela Dalton, chair of the council’s Community Committee, says the grant is a great way to kick-start or contribute to, the preservation of an historic building or place.
“The region’s historic heritage places are taonga that deserve to be preserved for all Aucklanders to enjoy, now and for years to come.
“The Regional Historic Heritage Grant offers a real opportunity for communities to restore, preserve and enhance heritage sites,” she says.
Recent successful grant recipients were the Puhoi Hotel complex and the Holy Trinity Church in Silverdale. (Hibiscus Matters, January 28, 2025)
