Council has resolved to prepare and place on public exhibition a draft Hire of Community Facilities & Community Discount Policy. A copy of the draft Policy can be found to the right.
About the Policy
The purpose of this policy is to support the community use of Council community facilities and to contribute to a happier, healthier, and more engaged Strathfield. The policy provides opportunities for the community to access and participate in a range of recreation, cultural, community and educational activities and projects. The Policy provides a transparent, equitable and consistent methodology for the hire of community facilities and the application of community discounts for the hire of community facilities.
The objectives of this policy are to:
- Provide hirers with access to Council facilities for activities which provide community benefit.
- Assist in meeting the community development objectives outlined in the Community Strategic Plan.
- Outline reasonable conditions for the hiring of facilities.
- Determine criteria for community discount hire of the community facilities.
The draft Policy offers community discounts for regular hirers across two categories:
- Community Discount Category 1 – 50% fee waiver for not-for-profit organisations during the week and on weekends (from outside Strathfield)
- Community Discount Category 2 – 90% fee waiver for not-for-profit organisations based in Strathfield during the week and on weekends.
