The National Heritage Preservation Incentive Fund, administered by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, provides financial incentives to encourage the conservation of privately owned heritage places recognised on the New Zealand Heritage List/Rarangi Korero.
Funding Priorities
Priority is given to heritage of national significance which needs conservation work and heritage places of national significance where conservation work is planned and could be improved through extra funding.
While all eligible projects will be considered, priorities for funding for the 2021 round are:
- the conservation and preservation of sites of significance to Maori; and/or
- the conservation work to increase resilience of heritage places against the impacts of climate change including the stabilisation of land and archaeological sites; and/or
- risk management planning for heritage buildings.
Type of Projects
You can apply for funding for the following types of conservation projects:
- Stabilisation, repair or restoration relating to historic buildings or structures (eg. repairs to masonry, joinery, plaster or glazing, earthquake strengthening or fire protection)
- Conservation work relating to land or archaeological sites (eg. site stabilisation, repair, vegetation management or fencing)
- Professional services (e.g. research, condition reports, conservation plans, engineer reports, conservation work specifications, management plans or supervision of work).
Funding Information
Assistance is in the form of grants. You cannot get funding for more than 50% of the cost of conservation work for a specific project, and individual grants will not normally be greater than $100,000.
