Heritage Agreement Grants

About the Heritage Agreement Grants Program

This grants program is open to landowners in South Australia with a Heritage Agreement over areas of native vegetation.

The program recognises the valuable contribution that Heritage Agreement landowners make to our state’s environment, enhancing biodiversity, supporting threatened species and building ecological resistance to climate change. The program makes a significant contribution to Australia’s commitment to aim to protect 30% of global land and marine areas by the year 2030. Heritage Agreements account for 3.5% of conserved land in South Australia.

The program was first launched in 2023 and awarded over 200 grants. In 2026 the South Australian Government has made a second commitment of $6M to extend the Heritage Agreement Grants Program for another four years.

The Heritage Agreement Grants Program is delivered by the department's Native Vegetation Unit with support from Outreach Officers in Eyre Peninsula, Limestone Coast, Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Boards.
