Regional Arts Development Fund

A community funding program for arts, culture and heritage. 

Welcome to Fraser Coast Regional Council's Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) online grant application service, powered by SmartyGrants.

RADF is an annual partnership between the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and Fraser Coast Regional Council. RADF promotes the role and value of arts, culture and heritage as key drivers of diverse and inclusive communities and strong regions.

This RADF funding period is for projects between 14 December 2021 and December 2022.

Before you begin

Please ensure you have:

• Completed the RADF Eligibility Checklist
• Read and understood the RADF guidelines on the RADF page
• Contacted the Fraser Coast Regional Council's RADF Liaison Officer or a Cultural Services team member to discuss your project.

Getting started

• You may begin anywhere in this application form.
• Ensure you save as you go.
• On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want. You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.
• A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. 

Supporting documents

You will need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.

You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

Save a draft application

If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.

You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.

Submit your application

You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.

Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.

Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.

If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.

Hint: also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.

• For queries about the guidelines, deadlines, or questions in the form, please contact the RADF Liaison Officer on 1300 79 49 29 during business hours or email artsculture@frasercoast.qld.gov.au and quote your submission number.
