Venues & Facilities

The Bundaberg Region provides a wide range of community facilities that are available for hire to the public, community and sporting groups, and businesses.   These facilities 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, a Maintenance Officer, and a contingent of cleaners.  

Members of the community can book facilities located in the Region by contacting their relevant Service Centre, or facility booking contact, to ascertain if the facility is available and to arrange the booking. 

For facilities managed by Council, a Booking Form and conditions of use information must be obtained, and the completed Booking Form returned to the Service Centre no later than 5 working days prior to the event, before confirmation of the booking can be given.   Hire fees must be paid on submission of the Booking Form.  

Once the booking is confirmed, hirers may then collect keys no earlier than 3 working days prior to the event.  

Regular bookings can also be made for Council managed facilities, where organisations will be invoiced at the end of each month for the hire of the facility.   An annual booking 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.

As these facilities are located in 4 distinct areas, the following information is provided as a guide to what is available in each area, and who to contact to make an enquiry about a booking.
