Step 1 – Read the Venue Booking Conditions of Hire.

Step 2 - Complete an Expression of Interest form ensuring you attach all supporting documentation. Please note: if you do not receive a confirmation email please re-read the instructions before resubmitting.

Submitting an application form does not equate to an approval for a room or hall booking. 

After an Expression of Interest has been assessed against the Precinct Values, a GRC staff member will be in contact regarding the outcome and/or further booking requirements.

For queries or further information contact the Program Support Team on (07) 4976 6300 or email info@gladstone.qld.gov.au.

Changes to bookings or cancellations must be submitted in writing and can be done via email or by using a Venue Booking Amendment Form.

Cancellation of bookings for the hire of premises may incur a fee, dependent on the amount of notice provided.

Amendments to bookings require approval.

Full or partial refund of fees is at the discretion of Council.

A security bond is required to be paid by the hirer at the time of booking as a guarantee of meeting Council conditions of hire requirements and as security against any breakages or additional cleaning resulting from hire.

A Request for Refund of Bond Form can be submitted later.

If there are no breach of hire conditions, bond fees will be returned within four weeks of the use of the facility.

When hosting a function or event on Council controlled land, you must have the correct public liability insurance in place.
