Member for Myall Lakes, Stephen Bromhead said the grants would help local communities across Myall Lakes to know, value and care for their heritage.
He said the grants would be allocated to MidCoast Council for heritage planning provisions, local heritage fund and heritage advisory services.
"Looking after our heritage is everyone's responsibility and local communities play an important role in maintaining heritage at a local level," Mr Bromhead said.
The 2019-21 grants saw $5.8 million awarded to 241 projects State-wide across three categories: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage, Caring for State Heritage and Community Heritage.
Minister for Heritage, Don Harwin said: "Protecting local heritage was an important step towards celebrating NSW's history as a whole and maintaining a physical record of the past.
"Across NSW the government is providing support for local heritage and indigenous groups, to protecting important heritage items ensuring communities maintain connection with their history," he said.
