Whanganui District Council’s Heritage Grant Fund has transformed some city heritage buildings and is also available for projects outside the town centre.
The fund provides assistance to building owners to undertake heritage enhancement work.
The third funding round for the year closes at the end of May 2023.
Council heritage adviser Scott Flutey said he had seen a transformation of the city’s heritage buildings and was excited the grant now covered the wider Whanganui district, not just the town centre as it originally did.
“We’ve been able to support some great community work in Whanganui’s town centre in recent years and we welcome expressions of interest from across the district if a project might have community heritage value,” he said.
