Applications for the 2023-24 Preserve, Promote and Protect our Aboriginal Sites Grants Program close on Friday, 29 March 2024.
With a record grants pool of $750,000, the grants enable Aboriginal organisations to undertake cultural heritage projects at registered Aboriginal sites.
The program is part of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage’s commitment to empower Aboriginal people in managing their unique cultural heritage.
Grants of up to $50,000 are available for Aboriginal not-for profit organisations to undertake on-the-ground works that protect and preserve Aboriginal sites, promote Aboriginal cultural heritage and provide social and economic benefits to local communities.
Over the past 10 years, the State Government has committed more than $2.5 million through the grants to support Aboriginal organisations and communities in preserving and protecting significant Aboriginal heritage sites across Western Australia.
Past successful projects have included remediation of registered Aboriginal sites, development and installation of interpretive and truth-telling signage, and employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal people in delivering on the ground projects.
