THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS POLICY REVIEW · Attachment 1 Review of Noosa Council Economic Development Grants Program

2. Summary of consultation
Common Feedback Themes




Actual Stakeholder Feedback


At no time in the consultation process was “not wanting to participate in the Noosa EDGP” mentioned.
Rather, it was discontent with the process, including resource intensity for applicants, arduous
application methods and the thought of being unsuccessful after considerable time and effort that
proved to be the deterrents.

It should be noted that most stakeholder groups are voluntarily resourced with little or no
administrative support.

Noosa Council Officers were thanked and appreciated for their efforts in assisting with providing advice
on the process and defining the criteria and rational for the EDGP.

Individual stakeholder feedback is attached as Appendix iv, page 16.
