Community use agreement

Community use agreements are used when:

a community organisation wishes to use a school's facilities on a one-off basis. For example, a sports association hiring the hall for its annual presentation night
OR
a community wishes to use a school's facilities on a regular basis for a period up to but not exceeding 12 months. This may also include a use for a short period, such as a fortnight or over a month. An example would be a local craft group hiring a room every Tuesday night for a year or theatre rehearsals
OR
at the principal's discretion, for very small commercial operations such as dance or drama classes for up to but not exceeding 12 months. If there is any doubt, Legal Services should be consulted for further advice.
