FAQs
Who does this policy apply to?
This Policy applies to all formalised use of Council sport fields by any sport club/association, school, community group or organisation that applies for allocation. This Policy does not apply to special or one-off events, personal fitness trainers, tennis court hire, private coaching operators, casual field hire and leased facilities.
How will equitable access to sports fields be managed?
To ensure equitable access to sport fields for all user groups, expressions of interest (EOI) will be invited twice yearly in line with the winter and summer seasons. Council will use the Hierarchy of Use model to prioritise sport field allocation.
The conduct of night games will not be suited to every sport field site. New applications will be assessed against the conditions of hire and night game allocation criteria.
Refer to Schedule A for full conditions of usage, EOI and Allocation process.
