2023-25 Emergency Works

This grant category provides funding to support declared Aboriginal Places and State Heritage Register (SHR) listed items that need repairs due to, or to address risks caused by, unexpected events. The funding cannot be used to address standard wear and tear.

How to check if an item is an Aboriginal Place or listed on the State Heritage Register (SHR)

Aboriginal Places are cultural heritage sites declared under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.  

The SHR is a statutory list of items listed under the Heritage Act 1977.

To check if your item is an Aboriginal Place or listed on the SHR, search the State Heritage Inventory at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/heritage/search-heritage-databases/state-heritage-inventory

If an item is shown on the map in red it is an Aboriginal Place  and if blue, it is State Heritage Registered.

Items that are shown as brown are locally listed items. If this is the case, they are not eligible for funding under this category and you should not continue with your application.
