When hiring or holding an event at a Latrobe City Council facility, most hires will require the hirer to hold Public Liability Insurance. Only hire of low risk facilities and uses, such as meeting rooms, may not require insurance. Public liability insurance protects the hirer against claims for personal injury or property damage, if something goes wrong at the event.

Where hirers do not hold or obtain their own insurance, eligible hirers may apply for cover under the Community Liability Pack for a fee. For booking of some venues, application can be made as part of the venue booking within Bookable. For all other bookings, application for cover can be made via the forms below.

• Insurance Part A - Hirer's of Council Owned/ controlled facilities (including Parks, Gardens and Reserves) for up to 1000 people - $19 per hire. Community Liability Insurance Form

• Insurance Part B - Performers/ Stallholders/ Artists/ Street Stalls/ Buskers/ Tutor and Instructors - $41 per hire. Stallholders Only - Public Liability Insurance Application Form 

Cover is not available to businesses/ insured applicants, high risk activities such as festivals or sporting activities, or for hire more than 52 times a year. Further information on cover and eligibility is provided in the policy guides at the links below.

Please note for Part A, cover is extended to the organiser hiring the venue only. Stall holders, performers, and other suppliers are not covered, and therefore need to provide or apply for their own insurance cover. They may wish to apply for Part B Insurance.
