Additional Costs

Event Support Officer

It is required that a dedicated Event Support Officer be present for all externally organised events and for internally organised events that the general public (non-university staff or students) attend. The Event Support Officer will arrive and unlock the venue(s) prior to the booking and set up the room if required. The Event Support Officer works free of charge during the hours of 7am – 3pm, Monday to Friday. Additional costs apply outside of these hours:

Cleaning

Cleaning costs apply to the cleaning of the venue and surrounding foyer and toilet areas (if applicable). When multiple venues/spaces, are being used for the same booking, a “multiple clean” cost will be negotiated before the booking is confirmed. It should be noted that the costs listed are for the provision of a basic clean (minimum callout fee is three hours’ cleaning time). Should the area being used be left in such a state that additional cleaning or specialised cleaning (ie, carpet steam cleaning) is required then additional costs will apply.
