           Status, including % of projects completed within target time frames
     All of the funded projects have been or will be completed within the required timeframe. One of the
     grants from Noosa Council, Energy Assessments and Upgrades for Low Income and Vulnerable
     Households, has required a variation to re-focus the project, due to the difficulty of engaging with
     organisations to select the households to be involved.
