SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                           7 NOVEMBER 2017


In accordance with RADF Guidelines, committee members are required to declare any conflicts
of interest and once declared the committee member is not involved in related deliberations.
In this round, no conflicts of interest were declared by the RADF committee.

The RADF Committee recommended 6 applications totalling $33,000 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.
