Community grants 2016/17
Council’s Community Grants for the period were managed in accordance with Council’s Community
Grants Policy as endorsed by Council on December 2016. This Policy is to be read in conjunction with
any supporting guidelines for specific funding programs. This Policy does not apply to sponsorship,
donations, advertising, naming rights and service level agreements.
The outcomes of this policy include:
 Providing community organisations and individuals (for Regional Arts Development Funds only) with
   financial support to meet identified community needs;
 Building community skills and resilience;
 Developing and maintaining sustainable community infrastructure;
 Providing opportunities for community organisations to leverage Council’s financial assistance to
   obtain funding from other sources; and
 Providing opportunities for community organisations to deliver on Council’s strategic goals and
   identified key initiatives (e.g. Noosa Corporate Plan, Noosa Social Strategy, Local Economic Plan
   and Environmental outcomes).

Table 8 outlines the funds supplied by Council through community grants for the period.
