to develop an image around heritage I immediately thought about our country. Travelling, being inventive,
water, land, food, implements, creating art in many forms and making objects for daily use, just for a start. I
pay homage to the long history of Black Australia and our connection to that. I admire earth custodians
because we only have one earth. This is an acknowledgement of my constant amazement of Mother earth”.

    Heritage Act 1977.
    You can find further detail on eligibility and the how applications are prioritised later in these
    Guidelines.

    guidelines.

    5.2 Things to consider
    This grant program is not intended to duplicate other climate change or bushfire recovery
    programs. Projects must aim to improve or protect Aboriginal cultural heritage values or prevent
    further loss of heritage values rather than focus exclusively on making an area safe, revegetation
    or erosion and land management.
    For activity 3 you will need to provide evidence of direct damage to the item or place caused by a
    disaster declared by the NSW Government since July 2019.

7   ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE GRANTS FUNDING GUIDELINES 2021-23
HERITAGE NSW

    If undertaking an interpretive project that includes Aboriginal shared history or content you must
    show how you intend to undertake appropriate consultation with, and gain support and approval of
    the Aboriginal custodians/community.

    5.3 Permits, exemptions and approvals

    5.3.1 TYPES OF PERMITS, EXEMPTIONS AND APPROVAL
    Before starting any work consider whether the works you are proposing require:
        •   a permit or exemption under National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974
        •   a permit or approval under the Heritage Act 1977
        •   local council approval or
        •   meets the criteria for a standard exemption or site specific exemption under the Heritage
            Act 1977.
    Harm to Aboriginal objects and declared Aboriginal Places should be avoided. When harm cannot
    be avoided the impact should be minimised or mitigated and an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit
    (AHIP) will need to be applied for and granted before you undertake your project. An AHIP is a
    legal instrument issued under Section 90 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
    Steps to determine if your project will cause harm are on our website.
    If you need an AHIP then you will need to conduct formal Aboriginal community consultation and
    prepare an AHIP application in addition to your grant application. There are guidelines available to
    help you understand your obligations under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 for work on
    Aboriginal heritage sites. These guidelines include:
    Guide to investigating, assessing and reporting on Aboriginal cultural heritage in NSW
    Code of practice for archaeological investigation of Aboriginal objects in New South Wales
    Aboriginal cultural heritage consultation requirements for proponents
    Due diligence code of practice for the protection of Aboriginal objects in New South Wales
    More information is available on our website or contact one of the Champion Team.

    Heritage NSW also regulates the conservation and protection of items listed on the State Heritage
    Register (SHR). Examples of permits, approvals or exemptions under the Heritage Act 1977 that
    you should consider if the item/place is listed on the SHR include:
    •   Section 57: Standard exemptions (for all SHR listed items), or site-specific exemptions
    •   Section 60: Application for works not covered under Section 57. Requires a full assessment via
        Heritage NSW
    •   Section 139: Excavations where impact to non-Aboriginal archaeology is not expected or would
        be very minor in nature following a full assessment
    •   Section 140: A permit to excavate and impact non-Aboriginal archaeology
    Please remember the Champion Team are available to support you in understanding these
    requirements.

    5.3.2 RELATIONSHIP TO THE GRANTS PROCESS
    The process for getting permits and approvals is separate to the grant application process. Allow
    additional time and budget into your planning for seeking permits and approvals.
    You can start the permits and approvals process before submitting an application for grant funding.
    You can apply for the costs of the necessary approvals and permits in your grant application. You
    do not need to have applied or been approved for these at the time of submitting your grant
    application.

    5.4 What activities are not eligible?
    The following activities are not eligible for funding:
    •   projects on land where the Federal or NSW Government has responsibility for protecting
        Aboriginal cultural heritage. For example, Local Land Services is responsible for Travelling
        Stock Reserves and the National Parks and Wildlife Service is responsible for projects within
        National Parks, State Conservation Areas etc.
    •   projects that have substantially commenced prior to applying for funding (note this does not
        include project planning, but refers to works already underway, management documents
        already drafted, or events/projects already developed and being promoted)
    •   works under activity 2 included in a heritage management document that has not been finalised
        or does not meet the required quality standards
    •   activities or works that could cause unacceptable levels of adverse impact to the heritage
        values of the site
    •   keeping place (a place where artefacts or remains may be held in a culturally appropriate
        manner whilst awaiting repatriation)
    •   construction of new buildings
    •   purchase or relocation of heritage buildings and items
    •   new commemorative monuments, works or headstones
    •   purchase of equipment
    •   in-house project management by salaried officers as either voluntary or cash contributions
    •   routine maintenance, such as lawn mowing, gutter cleaning, carpet cleaning, etc.
    •   heritage management documents required for statutory or legal purposes, for example
        Aboriginal cultural heritage assessments relating to environmental impact assessments
    •   projects completed as part of a university degree or to obtain qualifications at other educational
        facilities
    •   cultural participation projects related exclusively to research or development of a product
        without an outreach element
    •   projects that are exclusively:
    •   to make safe following a disaster,
    •   for revegetation or erosion and land management
    •   cultural burning.
    In exceptional circumstances, Heritage NSW and Heritage Council of NSW reserves the right to
    recommend funding for projects that may not fully meet the program selection criteria or transfer
    your application to another funding program if deemed appropriate.

                                                                     Maximum $70,000
      Cultural participation project                                 Minimum $10,000
                                                                     Maximum $50,000

     6.2 Co-contributions
     If you are Local Government or group of Local Governments a matching funding contribution is
     required.
     No matching funding is required from other applicants.
     For projects that require a matching co-contribution, your contribution will need to be the same or
     greater than the grant amount paid. For example, if a grant of $20,000 is approved and paid, you
     must contribute $20,000 or more to the project.
     Your contribution may include reasonable in-kind contributions (e.g. realistic hourly rates for
     relevant activities) but not in-house project management by salaried staff.

     6.3 Things to consider
     We typically receive more applications than can be supported. Meeting the eligibility criteria does
     not guarantee funding.
     If successful you will receive the grant funding across the two-year period, paid against milestones
     identified in a funding agreement. Generally, up to 50% of the funding is paid up-front once the
     funding agreement is executed (i.e. signed by both parties) and conditions of approval have been
     met.
     At least 10% of the grant is held until after the project is finished and we have reviewed the quality
     of the project outputs and whether all requirements in the funding agreement have been met. The
     final payment is a reimbursement based on actual project costs and co-contribution requirements.
     Full conditions for payment will be outlined in the funding agreement and its payment schedule.
     GST will be added to grants if you are registered for GST (with the exception of local government
     grant recipients).
     Grants under this program may result in financial, taxation, legal or other impacts. It is strongly
     recommended that you to seek independent financial advice on any impacts of receiving a grant.
     You may also seek advice from the Australian Tax Office phone 1800 806 218 if you have further
     questions about your individual situation.

     7. Project timing
     7.1 Things to consider
     There will only be one funding round for projects to be implemented in the period from July 2021 to
     June 2023.
     Projects can be implemented over two financial years or a shorter period depending on the activity.
     You must consider the time and budget required for consultation with heritage specialists and/or
     communities, and to meet exemption requirements, obtain permits or approvals and to meet any
     conditions of consent. Build this into your project timeframe and budget.

     8. Assessment criteria
     Funding is limited and we may not be able to fund all eligible projects.
     We use the assessment criteria in the table below to rank applications and decide which
     applications will be funded.
     The criteria reflect the strategic priorities for this grant category.
     Table 3. Assessment criteria
      Criterion       What we will assess
      For heritage management documents and heritage works projects
      1               Extent to which projects assist with recovery from and preparedness for natural
                      disasters and climate change (priority given to projects assessed as having greater
                      linkages and with preference to drought, bushfire and flood affected sites-noting we
                      will refer to disasters declared since July 2019 as noted by the NSW Government for
                      recovery projects)
      2               Extent to which projects stimulate, support or promote economic activity (priority
                      given to those with higher potential activity)
      3               Demonstrated long term cultural heritage benefits (priority given to projects
                      assessed as having longer term and more significant benefit)
      4               Level of risk to the heritage significance of the item or cultural knowledge (priority
                      will be given to items with more urgent need)
      5               Projects with public benefit including accessibility to a broader community (physical
                      or digitally) if culturally appropriate (priority given to those with higher public benefit)
      For cultural participation projects
      6               Extent of active engagement in understanding, celebrating and participating in
                      Aboriginal cultural heritage (with preference given to those engaging more
                      participants in a more active way)
      7               The extent that the project links to an item of Aboriginal cultural heritage significance
                      that is a declared Aboriginal Place or listed on the State Heritage Register (with
                      preference to those with linkages)

      Criterion        What we will assess
      For all applications
      8                The extent of involvement by Aboriginal organisations and communities or extent of
                       partnership arrangements to build capacity or economic growth for Aboriginal
                       organisations (with preference to those with greater Aboriginal organisation
                       involvement and greater collaboration)
      9                Demonstrated value for money (priority given to cost-effective projects)
      10               Demonstrated capacity and commitment of applicant to deliver the project (may
                       consider how any previous grants were delivered, previous compliance to the
                       National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and/or Heritage Act 1977, project planning,
                       project collaborators or, where applicable, partnerships established)
      11               Demonstrated quality of project (demonstrated quality considerations such as
                       project planning, risk assessment, use of quality assurance and best practice
                       standards and guidelines)
     Heritage NSW reserves the right to consider any other relevant information that emerges following
     receipt of applications.

     9. Process from Application to Decision
