Interpretive Centres

Advancing Participation in Community Life

Lotterywest may provide grants for capital works and equipment for an Interpretive Centre. Interpretive Centres present information, using a range of techniques, to enable visitors to develop an understanding about aspects of a community. This might include historical, cultural or natural heritage information. An Interpretive Centre might also act as a meeting place and starting point for further exploration of a site or issue.

Grants are only available for the not-for-profit components and are not provided for those parts of the project that might be used to generate a commercial profit.

Grants are not provided for ongoing maintenance or operating costs of facilities such as rates and cleaning. 

All applications must be supported by sound planning and include a

• Strategic Plan
• Needs Assessment and Accommodation or Facility Plan
• Business Case and Feasibility Study
• Management Plan
• Project Plan

Applicants should secure contributions from relevant sources, and contribute from their own resources according to their capacity.

If you have an Interpretive Centre proposal it is important that you discuss it with a member of our grants team before submitting your application.
