They were also assessed against the Noosa RADF Committee’s two priority areas for 2018-19:
 Art bringing People Together and
 Projects of Place.

All of the successful applications addressed one or both of these priority areas.

A total of 11 applications requesting $46,355 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, 3 Committee members declared a conflict of interest for the list applications.

The RADF Committee has recommended 7 applications totalling $25,000 for funding. 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 region.

RADF funding notification
Upon Council endorsement of this report, successful applicants will be notified by email including
a letter of acceptance for signature by the applicant.

Unsuccessful applicants who do not meet the grant criteria or who are not funded due to lack of
available funds will be advised in writing. Feedback is provided by the assessment panel on areas
of the project or application that may be modified or improved.

Previous Council Consideration
Since 2014, Noosa Council has had a 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 State Government, through Arts Queensland and Noosa Council.

Council has a funding agreement which runs from October 2018 to September 2019 with Arts
