Over 200 of our facilities are used by not-for-profit sport, recreation and community organisations. These organisations offer a range of activities and programs that help benefit the community.

Insurance cover

We are responsible for providing building insurance to cover our sport, recreation and community facilities. This insurance includes all approved buildings and site improvements such as sheds and lights.

To lodge an insurance claim submit the insurance claim for a leased facility application form.

Your application must be sent to us within 10 days of the insurable event occurring. Please allow 14 days for us to review your claim.

Improvements and works

We are committed to developing our sport, recreation and community facilities.

If you intend to start improvements or works on the premises you need approval from our Sport, Leisure and Facilities branch.

To apply, submit a landowners consent for improvements to a leased facility form.

You should allow eight weeks for us to review your application. Please take this into consideration when applying for funding for a project.

Statutory maintenance

Statutory maintenance is planned maintenance that is compulsory to meet legal requirements. Council’s standard lease document defines the responsibility for statutory maintenance at Council’s leased sport, recreation and community facilities.

Facility management register

To provide quality sport and recreation facilities we need to keep them safe and well maintained.

If you are responsible for the management and maintenance of a facility you must have a facility management plan.
