The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership program, which commenced in 1991 between Arts Queensland and local government to support the professional development and employment of artists and arts and cultural workers in regional Queensland.

RADF provides funding for one-off, short-term projects that offer arts, cultural and heritage development opportunities and contribute to the building of sustainable cultural industries.

Each year applications are invited from residents and organisations within the Bundaberg region for assistance to support the development of such projects.

The Committee considers applications in relation to the Bundaberg Regional Council Art and Cultural policy, and makes its recommendations to Council.

Capital expenditure, including construction or renovation of buildings and facilities, and purchase of equipment, is not eligible for assistance.

Application forms may be obtained from Bundaberg Regional Council or from the Arts Queensland website
