About Alexandrina Council's Heritage Grant Program

Alexandrina Council’s Heritage Grant program provides financial support for a variety of heritage-related projects across the Alexandrina region. Council recognises the importance of retaining the charm and character of our township and rural environments for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.

What type of activities will be funded?

Council is seeking to fund a range of heritage-related projects that contribute towards creating a Liveable, Green, and Connected Alexandrina and support our communities to thrive through the preservation, protection, and promotion of the unique heritage of the Alexandrina region.

Projects should focus on one or more of the following five themes:

• Heritage Tourism; enriching or improving a heritage experience by helping visitors develop a strong sense of understanding and appreciation of a place or region

• Conservation Practice; conserving a heritage building or place to retain its cultural significance by way of preservation, restoration, or reconstruction

• Adaptive Reuse; sympathetically and creatively repurposing a heritage building or site to help ensure its survival and continued use while still retaining its heritage value

• Heritage Gardens and Fencing; enhancing the character of a heritage building or place by maintaining or restoring garden elements with historic significance

• Historic Research; undertaking local historic research, documenting and sharing it with the wider community through a variety of audio-visual mediums.
