Prior to lodging a grant application:
1. Prior to lodging a grant application, professional advice must be sought from a Heritage Adviser (either via Heritage SA, local councils, or privately). PLEASE ATTACH THIS ADVICE TO YOUR APPLICATION. This can be as simple as the email advice received from a heritage professional, recognised heritage specialist, conservator or Heritage Officer, Heritage SA. Heritage SA will not be responsible for administering contracts or managing contractors.
The minimum level of heritage advice should include answers to the following:
- Is the project the highest priority work for the site at this time?
- Are the materials and methods appropriate for proposed project?
- Is Development Approval likely to be given for the proposed work?
- Does this project support the continued use or a new and appropriate use of this site?
2. Prepare scoping documents and specifications for proposed work, including cost estimates.
3. Have images of the State Heritage Place and the work required ready for upload.
