The Albanese Labor Government will deliver almost $100,000 to help restore the majestic Rippon Lea House and Garden, which is proudly included on Australia’s National Heritage List.
The restoration of the grand estate, just 20 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, will include repairs to the ceilings of the mansion and garden structures, and access and safety improvements.
Rippon Lea House was completed during the gold boom in 1868, which led to the development of numerous estates in Victoria, often known as ‘Boom-style’ mansions.
This funding is part of the Government’s $30 million investment to protect, restore and manage Australia’s National Heritage listed places.
There are currently 121 places of outstanding natural, Indigenous or historic value on the National Heritage List, across all state and territories in Australia.
