Grants are open for local veterans’ groups, sports clubs, councils and schools to apply for funding to repair local war memorials.
The grants are worth up to $10,000 and are available under the NSW Community War Memorial Grant Fund.
Applications close on Friday, October 3.
Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall said the projects take on greater importance with the centenary of Anzac.
“Community war memorials are an enduring reminder of the service and sacrifice that NSW men and women have made in defence of our country over more than a century," he said.
“The funding will support vital repairs to plaques, honour boards and facades which commemorate NSW veterans who have served across many theatres of conflict, from the Boer War onwards.”
Mr Marshall said the grants were about ensuring local memorials could stand proud so future generations could commemorate the sacrifices made by local diggers.
“The State War Memorials Committee considers applications for the repair or conservation of memorials commemorating Australia’s military heritage,” he said.
“The NSW RSL, NSW Government Architect’s Office and the Office of Veterans’ Affairs are represented on the Committee.”
To make an application visit www.veterans.nsw.gov.au/community-war-memorials-fund/ or contact the NSW Office of Veterans’ Affairs by phone on 9513 2028.
