Bonds
Bonds will be required to be paid on all hall and recreation centre bookings.
To calculate the cost of the bond a ‘Local organisation’ is any person that is currently living within the Shire and an ‘Outside organisation’ is any person that does not live within the Shire.
The venue will be assessed after the booking and the bond will be refunded, provided there isn’t any damage to the venue.
