We own landmark venues that are available for hire. Our landmark venues including Sydney Town Hall, Paddington Town Hall, and the Barnet Long Room at Customs House are architecturally and historically significant. This program provides assistance to community and cultural groups and organisations accessing these venues for events, concerts, fundraisers, conferences, meetings and community gatherings. The grant is intended for cultural, environmental and community groups and organisations that demonstrate financial hardship.
All reduced rates are based on the published rate of hire. Venue hire fees and charges are set for the facilities each year by us and can be viewed at our customer service centres.
The grant covers venue hire fees only. Applicants must meet all standard conditions of hire and pay all additional charges such as deposit and bond, security/key deposit, public liability insurance, cancellation, audio visual, additional staffing such as ushers, cloakroom and security, and any food and beverages.
One-off or annual reduced rates support is available for landmark venues, subject to availability. Multi-year funding or triennial funding is available on application.
