MEDIA STATEMENT: Grants open to preserve Queensland’s heritage sites 

Grants open to preserve Queensland’s heritage sites 

• Community Sustainability Action Grants for Heritage Conservation now open.
• Grants of up to $50,000 available to help preserve State heritage sites in Queensland.
• Funding seeks to conserve cultural heritage values and encourage visits from locals and tourists. 

The Crisafulli Government is helping Queenslanders preserve and protect significant cultural heritage-listed places across the State with a new round of funding grants. 

Community Sustainability Action Grants totalling $580,000 are now available to conserve and celebrate highly significant Queensland heritage places. 

Grants of up to $50,000 will be available for places entered on the Queensland Heritage Register that are, or will be, accessible to the public.   

Funding can be used for heritage conservation works including, for example, to update Conservation Management Plans by qualified heritage architects. 

Recipients will be required to provide a co-contribution for any conservation works or funded project, and successful projects should also facilitate community access to State heritage-listed places.  

Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the grants were a great opportunity to complete important conservation work on Queensland’s culturally significant places.  

“Queensland has incredibly diverse heritage places – from public buildings to hotels and homesteads – and it is important that we protect and preserve these places for future generations to visit and enjoy,” Minister Powell. 

“These grants can be used to support best-practice heritage outcomes and to ensure visitors get the most out of their Queensland heritage-tourism experiences. 

“We are proud of Queensland’s cultural heritage and encourage everyone to visit a heritage-listed site near them.”  

Applications close Wednesday, 11 June 2025.
