Heritage Loan Subsidy Scheme
The Heritage Loan Subsidy Scheme subsidises interest rates on loans for conservation works by 4%, offering owners significant savings. Loans can be arranged through the financial institution of the owner’s choice.
The Heritage Loan Subsidy Scheme is administered by the WA Local Government Association (WALGA) and the State Heritage Office.
Conservation works undertaken through the scheme are wide-ranging, and may include works to verandahs, fencing, chimneys, tuckpointing and wall restoration.

To be eligible properties must be within a participating local government area and be listed on the local government heritage list, State Register of Heritage Places, Commonwealth Register of the National Estate or the National Trust’s List of Classified Places.
