A total of 17 applications requesting $74,506 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, five committee members declared a conflict of interest for six of the applications.
The RADF Committee has recommended seven applications for funding, totalling $28,637. 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

Finance
RADF is a partnership between State Government, through Arts Queensland and Noosa Council.
Council has a funding agreement which runs from October 2019 to September 2020 with Arts
Queensland.
