Noosa Community in focus as new grant round opens

Noosa Council is calling for applications for the next round of Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) and Community Project Grants.

Community Grants are provided to help local community groups, organisations and clubs deliver a range of community projects and events.

“The grants help organisations and individuals to meet community needs, build community skills, resilience and maintain community infrastructure,” community grants officer Meagan Monk said.

Ms Monk said individuals and local organisations should consider applying for a grant because the funding could often go a long way toward helping them achieve their goals.

“Local community groups now have the chance to give their projects a real boost and to bring their ideas together,” she said.

Community projects may include, but are not restricted to, events or festivals, programs and building, maintenance or infrastructure projects.

As in previous years, Noosa Council is providing additional advice and support to applicants and Council encourages applicants to speak to a grants officer before submitting an application.

“Our community development team is on hand to help community groups that may need advice about completing the application process,” Ms Monk said.

RADF grants are open to artists, organisations and businesses to help them deliver arts focused projects. This round, the maximum grant amount for a RADF grant has increased to $7500. Council will also be offering online RADF information sessions.

The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

To speak to an officer regarding these funding programs, contact Council on 5329 6500 or head to Council’s website for more information noosa.qld.gov.au/grants.
