About your project
Provide a description of the project / programme to be funded and how it will be delivered. If you have a separate project plan (or similar), this can be attached and referred to.
Provide evidence of the problem or opportunity your project will address. This may be specific data or a general/anecdotal observation. The information could come from your own or another organisation. Eg: An engineering assessment of the building has been completed and the first priority identified was making the building weather tight
How will heritage and the community be better off as a result of this project? What is the overall improvement you are looking for? The outcome should be a simple, clear and concise statement describing the intended result you aim to achieve. Eg: We will protect the historic post office from weather so in the future it will bring pride to the area, tell the story of our past to the general community and school groups, and attract tourists.
