Our council venues are opening soon, and we can’t wait to welcome you back!

In preparing for re-opening, we have improved our operations to ensure our spaces are safe for you and your groups to enjoy.

Some of these improvements include:

• Calculated the capacity of all our venues to comply with 1 person per 4m2
• Deep cleans of all venues before re-opening
• Cleaning between each booking at Community Halls and Town Halls
• Installation of current COVID signage & QR codes
• Removal of communal cutlery, crockery and glassware
• Providing a stock of upon entry points & throughout venue:
  • Face masks
  • Hand sanitiser
  • Disinfectant wipes
• All venues ventilation systems have been audited (and adjusted if necessary) to ensure fresh air supply
• All Council employees and contractors are required to be fully vaccinated to enter our buildings
• Venue Officers have been trained on infection control, undergone COVID Marshall training, and are constantly updated on any operational procedures based on current COVID requirements that affect their role.
• Introduced a special conditions checklist which outlines the applicable restrictions at the time of your booking to help you plan your event
• Requiring all attendees to wear masks. Masks may only be removed briefly for eating and drinking.
• Encouraging everyone to bring their own individual food and drinks (rather than sharing)
• Requiring a COVID Check-In Marshall at all bookings to ensure attendees check in and show proof of vaccination status. Sometimes this will be a Council staff member and sometimes the group will need to appoint a member to perform this role.
