Venue cleaning and responsibilities
Am I responsible for cleaning the hall?
Yes. In all the venues we have a mop, a bucket, and a broom but you will need to provide your own surface spray cleaner along with sponges/paper towels to clean any of those unavoidable spills on tabletops, chairs and floors.
The floor will need to be swept, spills mopped up and your garbage must be bagged and put in the outside bins.
Will the centre be cleaned prior to my use?
All the venues are fully cleaned, including toilets, each morning between 4am and 8am, 7 days a week.
What is expected of me in terms of cleaning the space after my event?
The centre should be cleaned to the same standard as it was prior to your event, including the kitchen.
*Please do not mop any timber floors. Spilt drinks can be wiped up with paper towels.
Can I use a cleaning service provider?
Yes, you are welcome to use any service of your choosing. Please ensure all cleaning is completed within your booked time frames.
Do you have a cleaning service I can use?
No, we cannot provide any cleaning services as part of your booking.
Can you recommend a cleaning service?
There are a number of local service providers who are able to assist with casual event cleaning.
Will the toilets be re-stocked prior to my use?
Yes. Toilets are re-stocked in the mornings and in-between large events.
Tip: We recommend for large functions to bring some additional toilet rolls, just in case. Grab a bulk pack on your way and leave it in the car for emergency use.
Do I need to take my rubbish away?
No. We have outdoor bins for rubbish bags. If the bins are full, you will be required to stack bags neatly adjacent to the bin area.
*Glass should be placed next to the bins and not inside.
Will I be charged if I do not clean?
Yes, you will be charged cleaning costs and staff call out costs.
Tip: Staff working at venues after normal business hours are not able to discuss additional costs. Contact the centre during business hours to discuss any specific costs such as cleaning.
Do you have internal bins I can use in the venues?
Yes, there are a variety of bins throughout the venues and all bins are supplied with 2 bin liners.
Tip: We always recommend for large functions to bring some additional liners, just in case. Grab a bulk pack on your way and leave it in the car for emergency use.
What if I arrive at the centre and can see that something has already been damaged?
Before you start decorating or unpacking, take the time to inspect the space. If you see something broken or dirty speak to the staff onsite or phone 8416 6333 immediately.
Staff working after hours are not able to discuss additional costs outside of business hours. Contact 8416 6333 during business hours to talk about specific costs.
