Queensland's Heritage Grants Program
Living Buildings and Places
In 2006 the Queensland Government initiated a $5 Million Living Buildings and Places heritage grants program aimed to support the conservation and continued use of our key heritage places. The Queensland Heritage Register contains more than 1,500 places of state heritage significance, and there are many more important local heritage places that have been recognised by local governments.
Queensland’s cultural heritage places help define our communities and remind us of times and events that have shaped the way we see ourselves. They contribute to a sense of place, and reinforce our identity – they help define what it means to be a Queenslander.
However, cultural heritage is not about being stuck in the past. Heritage buildings are best protected when they continue to be used, and when their stories are told and appreciated by the communities whose history they reflect.
Places that were eligible for assistance under the program included those entered in the Queensland Heritage Register; local heritage places covered by an approved planning scheme; rural heritage places; and National Trust historic properties.
The lists of successful projects which were offered funding in the three rounds of the program are provided below. Please review the following links to find out more about the successful applicants from each round.
