Oberon Council will receive $6500 of that total through the Local Government Heritage Advisors stream.
Mr Toole said grants were awarded to help communities protect, value and gather more information about their local heritage and enable councils to fund their own small grants programs and secure the services of heritage advisors.
“Looking after our heritage is everyone’s responsibility and local government plays an important role in maintaining heritage at a community level,” Mr Toole said.
“The program is designed to help communities care for their local heritage and encourage community action on the front line of heritage protection.”
