2025-2026 OUT OF ROUND COMMUNITY GRANT APPLICATION FOR A THREE-YEAR COMMUNITY ALLIANCE AGREEMENT · Report

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING                                                 7 OCTOBER 2025


•       Capacity Building: THHS’s partnership with Business Mentors Noosa to review its strategic
        direction and identify new revenue opportunities demonstrates a proactive approach to long-term
        sustainability, reducing future reliance on Council funding.
•       Consistency and Fairness: Providing support at a level consistent with similar organisations (e.g.,
        Noosa Museum, Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical & Historical Research Group) ensures fairness
        and transparency in Council’s grant-making process.
