Council facilitates the hire of its community venues, facilities and parks in accordance with Hire of Council Venues, Facilities and Parks Policy (‘the Policy’) (OP-3-067).
In accordance with the Policy, Council’s existing fees and charges schedule make provision for not-for-profit organisations to receive an immediate fee reduction of 50%, where a fee is not included with a 50% reduction, an equivalent not for profit organisation reduction is provided.
Reduced venue hire fees and charges may be offered by way of reduction or waiver of hire fees by way of application through the Fee Waiver Program process. Fee Waiver grants are administered in accordance with Council’s Community Grants Policy (CP-3-015).
Who can apply?
Applicants may seek a fee wavier of venue hire fees for the following facilities through the Fee Waiver application process:
The maximum amount of any fee waiver will be $3,000 and successful applicants can only receive funding once every second financial year.
Before applying for a Fee Waiver, applicants must have lodged their venue hire application, as the Booking ID will be required in your application.
Councils Community Development team are happy to make themselves available for further information, or to arrange a face-to-face meeting prior to submitting your application.
