They were also assessed against the Noosa RADF Committee’s two priority areas for 2019-20:
 Art Environment and Sense of Place
 Participation

7 out of the 9 of the successful applications addressed one or both of these priority areas.

A total of 12 applications requesting $59,480 were received and assessed by the RADF
Committee

In accordance with RADF Guidelines, committee members are required to declare any conflicts
of interest and once declared the committee member is then not involved in related deliberations.
In this round, one committee member declared a conflict of interest for one of the applications.

The RADF Committee has recommended 9 applications totalling $29,200 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.

Previous Council Consideration

partnership, Noosa Council is able to offer grants to artists and arts organisations within the
Noosa Shire. These are assessed by the RADF Committee and approved by Council twice each
