Applications are invited for consideration under the Scheme of Grants for Conservation Works on Protected Structures 2008 to assist owners and occupiers to carry out conservation works on protected structures.  The scheme is part of a package of measures introduced by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government to strengthen the protection of the architectural heritage.

Applications will be prioritised in accordance with the scheme, and grants if approved, paid from an allocation by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to the Council for this purpose.
