Local heritage fund project signage template
As part of the funding agreement, grant recipients must agree to allow the council to erect a
temporary sign advertising the project and the parties involved. This is a valuable opportunity
to tell the broader community about the heritage project, and about funding support from the
council and NSW Government.
This sign must be displayed in a prominent location for the duration of the project, and must
be visible and legible. Grant recipients may choose the materials and size of sign they want.
A signage template is on the next page and an example of a sign is included on the page
after.
Councils are required to use the Office of Environment and Heritage and Heritage Council
logos in all material associated with this project. Logos are included in the signage template
and sample sign.
