Arts and cultural funding boost for local communities across Queensland.

The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) has received a $104,000 funding uplift, with a total Queensland Government investment of $2.184 million in 2023-24. 

In partnership with 59 local councils, RADF will deliver a combined 2023-24 co-investment of over $4.16 million to support arts and cultural outcomes in communities state-wide.

Multi-year funding agreements will be implemented from 2024-2025 to support longer-term planning of RADF activities and reduce administrative burden on local councils.
