The Oaks Historical Society will receive an important boost under the Morrison Government’s $3 million Culture, Heritage and Arts Regional Tourism (CHART) program, with the first batch of successful applicants announced today. 
  
Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor congratulated The Oaks Historical Society on receiving a $3,000 grant to install three outdoor strip heaters and upgrade existing lighting.  
 
“We want to focus on helping the local economy rebuild through the development of collections or exhibits, improved facilities for visitors, and the digitisation of local heritage collections for future generations to enjoy,” Mr Taylor said. 
  
“I encourage any other community-run arts, cultural and heritage organisations in Hume to apply for a CHART program grant.” 
   
The Australian Museums and Galleries Association (AMaGA) is delivering the program on behalf of the Government.  
 
Applications are open until 29 April 2022 or until allocated funding is expended. Visit https://www.amaga.org.au/chart for further information.
