Heritage Grants Now Official
Monday, 27 August 2001, 5:19 pm
Press Release: Christchurch City Council
Heritage development grants for commercial heritage
buildings are now available from the Christchurch City
Council.
The scheme will run for a trial period of three
years, after which it will be reviewed with consideration
being given to extending it to the whole city.
The grants
will be limited to five years and buildings involved will
have a conservation covenant placed on the titles to ensure
the long-term retention of the buildings.
Payment of the
grant will start after satisfactory completion of the work
and will start in the year rates increase as a result of the
new work and not from a general property revaluation.
