Funding Available to Restore War Memorials

Following on from ANZAC Day, the NSW Government has announced grants of up to $10,000 are available for conservation work on local war memorials.

Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman spoke about the grants, saying, “Each time you visit your local war memorial, I encourage you to consider how it could be protected, repaired or conserved for future generations. Our region is so proud of those who served to make our communities the vibrant places they are today. Let’s continue to honour them with a tribute that’s reflective of their service and sacrifice.”

Grants are available to cover projects like conservation assessments, honour roll repair, environmental advice, cleaning, and repairs to war memorial halls, and organisations including memorial trusts, veteran groups and local councils can apply.

Community War Memorials Fund applications close on 26 July 2021. For more information or to apply, visit: www.veterans.nsw.gov.au/heritage/community-war-memorials-fund
