The Western Australian government has allocated more than $350,000 to support nine Aboriginal organisations to manage cultural heritage projects.

WA Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Dr Tony Buti, said on Monday that this year's grants - ranging up to $40,000 - were awarded through the 2023 Preserve, Promote and Protect our Aboriginal Sites program.

"Congratulations to all the grant recipients in their endeavours to protect vital WA history and preserve a connection to Aboriginal people's heritage and culture," he said.

"Our government is committed to assisting Aboriginal organisations in their endeavours to recognise and protect important heritage sites that reflect a high degree of social and cultural importance for Aboriginal culture.

"This is another great example of Aboriginal organisations actively identifying and working towards preserving their heritage for their community and all Western Australians."

The heritage projects are designed to enhance the cultural development of the local community and cultivate a broader understanding of this history for all Western Australians.

Recipients include the Marribank Aboriginal Corporation in the South-West to fence historic grave sites, maintain the environment and revitalise waterways in the Shire of Kojonup.

In the Mid-West, the Wajarri Yamaji Aboriginal Corporation will fund members of the Wajarri Yamaji community to maintain the important Walga Rock Aboriginal rock art site depicting 17th century European ships visiting the Western Australian coast.

Other recipients include the Budadee Aboriginal Corporation, the Woodstock-Abydos Protected Reserve, and Kimberley's Yawuru PBC/Nyamba Buru Limited to preserve 'Morgan's Camp' on the Burrgugun site.

The WA government said that since 2014 more than $2 million has been allocated to 80 Aboriginal groups across the state to help them manage Aboriginal sites listed on the Register of Places and Objects.
