National Heritage Investment Initiative

About the National Heritage Investment Initiative (NHII)

The National Heritage Investment Initiative (NHII) is an Australian Government, $10.5 million grants program that provides assistance to restore and conserve Australia's most important historic heritage places.

Over 2005-06 to 2008-09, grant funds will be available for projects that restore and conserve Australia's most important historic heritage places. Priority will be given to places included in the National Heritage List.

Grants will generally be for major restoration or conservation works, $100,000 to $500,000.  Grants of up to $40,000 have also been provided for the development or updating of conservation management plans for heritage places. 

To be eligible for funding, a place must be entered on either the Australian Government's National Heritage List, or on a state or territory government statutory heritage register, at the time at which an application for funding is submitted.

Remaining grant funding for 2007-08 has been allocated. Due to limited funding availability in 2008-09 there will be no further competitive rounds under the NHII.
