Since the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, the council has repaired 30 of the heritage buildings it owns.
However, the council said 17 buildings still needed repair, including the Old Municipal Chambers, the former Thomas Edmonds Band Rotunda, and the Robert McDougall Art Gallery.
"Unfortunately, we don't have enough money right now to repair all our heritage buildings within the next few years, so we need to prioritise how these funds should be spent," the council's acting head of parks Brent Smith said.
The council was seeking feedback from groups or individuals interested in using those facilities.
"People may be interested in running a business or community group from these buildings, or they may be able to help us to restore the buildings."
He said this would help the council prioritise what buildings should be repaired next.
The closing date for applications for most of the buildings is 29 March, 2018.
