Memorials

Valuing Our State’s Heritage

Lotterywest may consider a proposal for the construction, conservation and interpretation of memorials that have community significance.

Applicants must have:

• explored all alternative funding options; and
• demonstrate the significance of the memorial to the community.

Requests would need to demonstrate that:

• the proposal is the most appropriate and preferred community option to commemorate an aspect of its culture and heritage; and

Grants will generally not be provided through this grant area for:

• a memorial commemorating an individual; or
• the regular maintenance and upkeep of a memorial and its surrounds.

The Document Downloads section (at the top right hand column of this page) contains specific information about this grant area and access to an Application Form.

Other Lotterywest Memorial Grant Opportunities

Proposals for a memorial to commemorate an individual who had major State-wide significance or influence may be considered under the Special Initiatives Grants area. Go to Special Initiatives  for more information.

If an existing memorial with heritage significance requires work, a grant may be available under either the Conservation of Cultural Heritage or the Interpretation of Cultural Heritage grant areas.

For war memorials, communities must have accessed the Regional War Memorials Project funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs before making an application to Lotterywest.
