Each year the Government distributes $200 000 worth of grants under the NT Heritage Grants Program through the Department of Natural Resources, Environment, the Arts and Sports.
The Program is intended to assist the owners of declared heritage places to undertake conservation work. Grants can also be provided for other purposes such as interpretive signage or research and recording.
