Demonstration projects
A demonstration project seeks to provide a customised assistance package to owners of buildings that pose particularly large, complex or significant conservation challenges.
Generally, this type of project will have one or more of the following characteristics:
- buildings with multiple heritage elements of high conservation value
- visually prominent, with strong contribution to streetscape character
- multiple and/or complex ownership arrangements
- a history of under-utilisation emphasising the importance of viable re-use
- requirement for continuity of funding support over more than one year
- estimated value of professional advice and documentation and conservation works exceeding $100k
- buildings with high heritage value but with marginal or nil economic return.
