In 2025, Mareeba Shire Council conducted a survey of residents and arts sector stakeholders to identify how the community wants to participate in the arts and priorities for building a strong and sustainable arts, culture and heritage sector. The results have informed local priorities for Council’s Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Program and may be used by other organisations to inform their arts activities and support grant applications.
