SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  7 DECEMBER 2021


A total of 10 applications requesting $43,732.00 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, 1 members of the committee declared a conflict of interest for 3 of the applications.
The RADF Committee has recommended 4 applications for funding, totalling $19,463.00. 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 shire.
Previous Council Consideration
Since 2014, Noosa Council has had a RADF 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 twice each year.
Finance
RADF is a partnership between the State Government, through Arts Queensland and Noosa Council.
Council has a funding agreement which runs from October 2021 to September 2022 with Arts
Queensland and Council’s contribution is funded in the 2021/22 budget.
The next round of RADF grants (Round 17) are scheduled to be open in February - March 2022 for
projects delivered in the 2022-23 financial year. These grants will be funded out of the 2021-22
RADF program. The next annual RADF application will be required in April for the 2022-23 RADF
program. The outcome of that application will be known in September 2022.
