Officers, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, will assess the relevance and appropriateness of the request. Council officers will be the decision makers on whether the request is granted or refused.

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 Facilities Bookings Officer on (07) 4970 0700 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.

Public liability insurance covers your function or event for any losses or damages suffered, or claimed to be suffered, by persons attending your function or event, or as a result of your function or event.

Hirers who use the venue more than 12 times within 12 months, must obtain Public Liability Insurance.

One-off or infrequent hirers are required to complete a Casual User Public Liability Insurance Form.
