This Public Liability Scheme is only applicable to community groups, not-for-profit organisations and individuals.
Public liability cover is not available for commercial entities that charge admission or derive monetary gain from the actual hire activity.
Council's preference is for groups to have their own public liability. However, Council recognises that it is not always possible for some newly formed groups to arrange this cover.
The following conditions apply:
- Hirer must read and understand the terms and conditions on the form
- Hirer must complete and sign the form
