Stadium Bookings – Terms and Conditions

Introduction

The K.M. Pearson Stadium is available for bookings from Association Members and Community Groups.  These Terms and Conditions of Stadium Hire outline the responsibilities of hirers when booking the stadium.

Bookings – Notice and Timings

** Bookings must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance to enable (volunteer) admin staff the opportunity to process and confirm the booking.

** Bookings will not be permitted after hours e.g. from 10pm to 7am. This is to restrict light and noise so that we maintain a harmonious relationship with our neighbours. 

Facility and Security Induction

The Stadium is not permanently staffed and access outside of normal fixtures/representative training is provided via an honour system based on access to a stadium key contained in a key safe secured next to the Office door.  

All persons booking the stadium must attend a Facility and Security Induction at the Stadium provided by an official of the Association before any bookings can be accepted.   Current members of the Association who have demonstrated their knowledge and understanding of the facility and lock up procedures may be deemed as having completed the Facility and Security Induction.

The induction involves a 10 – 15 minute explanatory briefing on how to access the stadium; the use of various stadium equipment (lights/fans, etc) and the correct procedures to ensure the stadium is properly secured at the end of the booking.  

Persons booking the stadium who fail to use the stadium correctly or who leave it insecure at the completion of their booking will be required to undergo another induction.  Repeated breaches of security may result in refusal to accept future bookings. 

Access

Access to Association Members is provided via a  key safe which is located to the right of the office door.   When booking the stadium you will receive the code to open the key safe.  Lift the rubber cover up and key in the code to open and to lock the key away. The key is attached to the key safe face plate. Use the key to open the padlock and door of the Office.

A member of the Association will assist Community Groups to access and close the stadium after use.  Regular users may be provided access to the Key Safe Code in order to gain self entry.

Note the Key Safe code is changed regularly.  All users provided the Key Safe Code agree to not pass on the code to others and to ensure they lock the key in the keysafe when closing the stadium after use. 

Fees

Fees are $20 per hour for Association Members – e.g. Members registered under MABA on the Game Day app.  The fee for all other users is $30 per hour.  Note that longer bookings e.g. day use may incur extra charges for cleaning.

All users are requested to pay on arrival by placing money in a yellow envelope with your name & date written on it with correct money inside. Place envelope in Silver money safe on the post near the fire hose. Envelopes are located at the scoresheet table.  Community Groups may be offered an invoice by prior arrangement.

Security, Cleanliness and Closing Procedure

All users are responsible for ensuring that the stadium is fully secured at the conclusion of their booking.  Please close all louvres and doors and turn off all lights and fans on completion of your Booking.

Please run the scissor mop over the floor to prepare the court for the next user.
