If you own a heritage building, tree or other object listed in the District Plan, Council may be able to provide financial assistance towards its maintenance and preservation.
The Natural and Cultural Heritage Incentive Fund has four categories to help with heritage projects. Given the requirements of the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) Amendment Act 2016, its primary priority is earthquake strengthening listed heritage buildings.
This funding is targeted at earthquake prone heritage buildings and street character buildings that require strengthening. Grant funding is available for feasibility studies (phase one), working drawings (phase two), and structural works (phase three).
This funding helps owners look after our most significant heritage buildings and sites. It's available for conservation, maintenance, repair, and restoration of scheduled heritage buildings and sites.
This funding supports community-led heritage education, research or promotion projects.
This funding helps notable tree owners with the costs of minor maintenance and trimming.
