For bookings beyond the 30 June 2026, Council is required to determine Fees and Charges for the coming financial year as part of the Hills Shire Plan.

The Draft Hills Shire Plan will be presented to Council and is required to be placed on public exhibition for a minimum period of 28 days to receive feedback from our community.

The proposed process and timeline for the exhibition and adoption of the Plan is as follows:

• April 2026 - Report to Council to consider the Draft Hills Shire Plan and place on public exhibition.
•  May/June 2026 - Public Exhibition of the Draft Hills Shire Plan for a period of 28 days.
•  June 2026 – Council to consider submissions and adoption of The Hills Shire Plan.

Bookings will receive a full refund if at least 30 days’ notice is provided (via email) less an administration fee of $40 per cancellation request.

If less than 30 days’ notice is provided and the event cannot be moved to another date or suitable venue, the hirer is liable for the full hire fee.

Transfer of bookings will only be permitted at Council’s discretion for an administration fee of $40 per transfer request.

Please consider this when requesting any regular or casual bookings as no consideration for a “no charge” transfer will be made for date change once approved and processed.

Groups that can demonstrate that they are a registered charity or have Not for Profit status can access subsidised venue hire fees at Council's discretion. To register for a Not-for-Profit account, please click here.

Additionally, as of 1 July 2024, Not for Profit Groups that can demonstrate that they are unfunded can apply to Council to hire Level 1 and Level 2 rooms, weekdays until 4pm, for a maximum of 4 bookings per financial year at no charge and then receive a greater concession fee for all remaining bookings for that financial year.
