           GUIDELINE PURPOSE
           The purpose of the Heritage Levy Guideline is to detail the administration of the Heritage Levy Policy
           and provide direction to Council officers regarding,expenditure and activities under the Levy
           program.
           GUIDELINE SCOPE
           This guideline applies to all programs, activities or incentives that are directly or indirectly funded or
           supported, wholly or partly, by the Heritage Levy.
           This guideline does not apply to other Heritage related activities.or services undertaken by Council
           that are not funded by the Heritage Levy.
           POLICY GUIDELINE
           The Heritage Levy Policy outlines four categories under which the Heritage Levy revenue can be
           used to fund heritage relatedinitiatives. This guideline provides further clarification on the eligibility
           of proposed activities under each. category:
           1.   Heritage Assets
           Heritage assets includes buildings, structures, sites, collections and artefacts considered to have
           heritage value because of their historic, scientific, aesthetic, social or architectural significance to
           the Noosa region or. community.
           Funds under this category will be applied to the preservation of Council-owned heritage assets or
           the acquisition of heritage assets by Council.

           A.  Heritage Preservation is characterised as major works to preserve, repair or refurbish
               Council-owned heritage assets, infrastructure, sites or collections.
               Consideration of funding under this category will be on an individual basis and advice will be
               taken from relevant experts and stakeholders to determine the merit of using Heritage Levy
               funds for preservation purposes. Heritage Levy funding will be prioritised for works that would
                not receive funding under another Council program.
                Heritage infrastructure proposals may include major renewals, repairs or refurbishments and
               major works to ensure the preservation of the structure such as treatment of major pest
               damage.

                                                                                                    Page 1
