Guidelines

  • Council’s Community Liability insurance policy provides cover for uninsured hirers, provided that the number of hires per hirer does not exceed 52 times per annum.
  • Cover is only provided to the hirer of the facility and for the duration of such hire. It does not extend to any other participants/performers/ contractors that may be involved in the hire activity (e.g. a band engaged for a wedding reception).

    It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure these other parties have their own Public Liability insurance in place.

  • The policy will not provide cover where:

    – the hire involves attendance of more than 1,000 people;

    – the duration of hire exceeds five (5) consecutive days;

    – the hire is part of a festival/event.

    Cover for the above may be available from Local Community Insurance Services

  • The policy will not provide cover to commercial entities that hire a facility and charge admission or derive monetary gain from the actual hire activity.
  • The policy will cover commercial entities for hire activities where there is no monetary gain derived from the actual hire activity and where there is no other insurance in place.
  • The policy will cover Not For Profit (NFP) entities who may charge for fund raising purposes.

Please note a minimum of 5 days’ notice is required prior to booking a venue. If you need to book a venue at short notice (ie less than the five days), please contact Council.
