ZERO EMISSIONS NOOSA (ZEN) Inc. ALLIANCE AGREEMENT · Attachment 7 ZEN Inc. Alliance Agreement Annual Report 2025

          when we started to spend frorn Alliance funds Year 3. We should have been spending from
          Alliance Partnership Funds Year 3 funding from 01 July, 2025 if funding had been received
          by then.
  iv.     Having Marketing assistance for 12 hours per month was to enable the ZEN Chair to spend
          more time working at the strategic level to develop collaborative relationships and be involved
          developing in strategically important projects. However, this has been less than expected as
          website rebuild costs have been more than expected. Hours earmarked for Marketing and PR
          had to be used for the website rebuild. The ZEN Inc. chair had to resume newsletters and
          other jobs. Some marketing of events & social media had to be done by volunteers who do not
          have the same expertise as a professional marketing person.
