The grants will help communities across the electorate to know value and care for their heritage.
Goulburn MP Wendy Tuckerman was pleased to announce the successful grants going towards the Wingecarribee Shire Council Small Grants Program and the Wingecarribee Shire Council Heritage Advisor Services.
"Looking after our heritage is everyone's responsibility and local communities play an important role in maintaining heritage at a local level," Mrs Tuckerman said.
The 2019-21 grants saw $5.8 million awarded to 241 projects statewide across three categories including Aboriginal cultural heritage, caring for state heritage and community heritage.
Minister for Heritage Don Harwin said protecting local heritage was an important step towards celebrating NSW's history as a whole and maintaining a physical record of the past.
"Across NSW the Government is providing support for local heritage and indigenous groups, to protecting important heritage items ensuring communities maintain connection with their history," he said.
