The Bundaberg Region provides a wide range of community venues that are available for hire to the public, community and sporting groups, and businesses. These venues are the responsibility of the Venues & Facilities Section, and some are managed by Council, and others by a Community Management Committee. The Venues & Facilities Section has a Manager in Charge, supported by a Senior Administration Officer, a Facilities Officer, a Bookings Officer, an Administration Assistant, a Maintenance Officer, an Operations Supervisor and a contingent of cleaners.
Members of the community can book venues located in the Region by contacting their relevant Service Centre, or venue booking contact, to ascertain if the venue is available and to arrange the booking.
For venues managed by Council, an Application form and Conditions of Hire information must be obtained, and the completed Application form returned to the Service Centre no later than five (5) working days prior to the event, before confirmation can be given. Hire fees must be paid on submission of the Application form.
Once the booking is confirmed, hirers may then collect keys no earlier than three (3) working days prior to the event.
Regular bookings can also be made for Council managed venues, where organisations will be invoiced at the end of each month for the hire of the venue. An annual Application form must still be completed indicating the dates required and submitted to Council at the beginning of each year. Any cancellation of bookings must be advised to Council in the month of the booking so that rental charges are not applied, otherwise the normal rental fee will apply as an administrative charge. Arrangements for issue of keys for regular bookings are to be made through the relevant booking office.
