           RADF investment supports local artists and communities to participate in locally determined arts
           and cultural priorities, activities and opportunities. The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is
           a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and
           culture in regional Queensland.
           Applications for RADF will be accepted twice yearly and successful applications will be decided in
           a competitive assessment process.    Council may determine priority funding areas on a year-to-
           year basis and these priorities will be identified in the RADF Guidelines.
           Council will require a contribution to the project from the applicant or a third party. Projects
