SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                          12 JUNE 2018


this round, Jane Rivers declared a conflict of interest for the Noosa Arts Theatre application and
Ulrike Sturm declared a perceived conflict of interest for the Ceramics of Excellence application.
The RADF Committee recommended eight applications totalling $24,947 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. The assessment panel provides feedback on areas of
the project or application that may be modified or improved.
Previous Council Consideration
Since 2014, Noosa Council has had a partnership with Arts Queensland. As part of this
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 each year.
Finance
RADF is a partnership between State Government, through Arts Queensland and Noosa Council.
Council has a funding agreement that runs from October 2017 to October 2018 with Arts
Queensland.
