*_Conditions of Hire:

** \_The heritage venue is to be respected and taken care of, as are all properties made available to you as a hirere throughout the duration of your hire.

*Booking cancellation fees apply. 50% of a booking will be charged if cancellation occurred within a 14 day period ahead of any main hall booking and any cancellation within a 72 hour period prior to the booking will incur the full cost of the agreed upon booking.

*Weddings need to consider whether they need additional access to the hall the day before or after for delivery and design and clearing of properties, etcetera. As such, we recommend they 24 hour access + hire for weddings, to reduce the strain on the day and any need for additional charges. Attendance to afford access to deliveries outside of our hired hours is $75 per attendance.

*Bond is typically 25% of the overall booking. And will be held in the instance of last minute cancellation excluding Covid related interference (hourly hires need a week's notice, major event hires will need to notify us three weeks ahead of a cancelation to avoid charges?

*Cleaning is $175 for smaller events under 50 persons with no bar service, and $300 for larger events.

*PA Hire is $200 per day, and FTC's new professional event Chairs may be hired from $3 a chair per day for events. Projector Hire can be arranged at a rate of $250 a day.

*Please do not ask for discount rates for NFPs, as we are a volunteer organisation currently and we are investing maintaining the venue at great expense so that it can be available to the community. In the instance your event is obviously worth further support we will discuss it, and if you are a regular hirer or keen to set up a longer-term hire, we will offer discounted rates to match that commitment.

*Production hirers/producers need to be in possession of their own Public Liability Insurance to cover their staff, audience and practices and are wholly responsible to any damage cause to the venue by their actions over the course of their hire. As a heritage venue, there is an expectation that the venue be respected. Obviously, nothing is to be fixed to the walls or drilled into floors, painted or permanently change, or any such, without the explicit approval of the venue management. The event production company, aka. the hirer, will be liable to pay the cost on any and all repairs caused to the venue.

**PLEASE NOTE: The venue has a licensed bar and as such we cannot allow BYO for any events under any circumstances - however the bar can manage any events needs upon request.

Thank you!
