Fee Waiver Program Up to $3,000

Overview

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.
