SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      8 JUNE 2021


4 of the 5 successful applications addressed one of these priority areas.
A total of 11 applications requesting $42,661 were received and assessed by the RADF committee.
In accordance with RADF Guidelines, committee members are required to declare any conflicts of
interest and once declared the committee member is then not involved in related deliberations.
In this round, 2 members of the committee declared a conflict of interest for 2 of the applications.
The RADF Committee has recommended 5 applications for funding, totalling $19,802. The projects
recommended for funding are excellent in quality and diversity, and will employ quality artists and
arts workers who will engage in valuable arts and cultural activities across the shire.

Previous Council Consideration
Since 2014, Noosa Council has had a RADF partnership with Arts Queensland. As part of this
partnership, Noosa Council is able to offer grants to artists and arts organisations within the Noosa
Shire. These are assessed by the RADF committee and approved by Council twice each year.

Finance
RADF is a partnership between the State Government, through Arts Queensland and Noosa
Council.
Council has a funding agreement which runs from October 2020 to September 2021 with Arts
Queensland and Council’s contribution is funded in the 2020/21 budget.
The next round of RADF grants are scheduled to be open in August – October 2021 for projects
delivered in 2022. These grants are dependent on a successful annual application for continued
funding through Arts Queensland. The outcome of this application will be known in September
2021.
