Hiring the Hall

General Information

The Hall can be hired for community, commercial and private events.

The Hall is equipped with a large kitchen containing an instant hot water system, a gas stove top, electric oven, electric BBQ plate, a bain marie with plate warmer, a fridge, two microwaves, a hot water urn and a variety of crockery and cutlery. There is a coin fed meter for the heating/cooling which costs $2 for 30 minutes. All other charges are included in the hire fees, including the use of tables and chairs.

Keys

Hirers will be given a key for the duration of their use and must pay a key deposit of $50, fully refundable when the key is returned. Arrangements for keys will be made at time of booking.

Cleaning

The Hall is cleaned every week but it is the responsibility of all users to leave the Hall as they find it, in a clean condition, ready for the next user. Please report any breakages or faults to the Booking Officer when you return the key so that repairs can be made.

Hirers will be asked to pay a cleaning/breakage bond prior to their use which will be refunded when the Hall is returned in a clean condition.

General Rules

DO NOT use sticky tape, nails or pins on either the walls or the picture rail. If you wish to hang up decorations then please use bluetac or similar. At the end of your hire please REMOVE all decorations AND fixings.

If you wish to light candles then make sure they are on a suitable base and away from anything flammable. Hot candles will melt the surface of the plastic tables. Please do not allow candles to drop wax on the floor.

No tissue type confetti or similar can be used, as when wet it will stain the floor.

No bonfires are to be lit at the side of the hall or in the back paddock.
