Aboriginal organisations can now apply for a share of $500,000 in funding to undertake cultural heritage projects at Registered Aboriginal sites, as part of the State Government’s 2022-23 Preserve, Promote and Protect our Aboriginal Sites Grants Program, through the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH).
Incorporated Aboriginal not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for grants of up to $40,000 for projects that include sites listed on the Register of Aboriginal Places and Objects.
The grants will enable Aboriginal communities to undertake physical on-the-ground works - such as the remediation of burial sites and fence and signage installation - to protect and preserve sites that have been registered for their unique Aboriginal cultural heritage values.
The program also supports recipients to undertake historical and archaeological research and deliver truth-telling projects that share the unique stories of Western Australia's Aboriginal peoples and contribute to cultural healing and reconciliation.
The 2022-23 grants close 5pm Friday, 21 October 2022.
