The venue is Heritage listed, and requires a Council Venue Officer present at all times to ensure that the conditions of hire are followed.

On the day, the Venue Officer will provide facility information, open and lock the doors, and oversee emergency and safety procedures. The Venue Officer will go over a briefing sheet with you before and after your function, to make sure requirements are addressed to ensure your full bond is returned.

Following your event, please:
