Baringa Community Centre is managed by Caloundra Community Centre Inc. We aim to provide a pleasant and informal environment for your event, meeting and/or activity. We can assist with suggestions on how to publicise and market your course, group or workshop to maximise successful outcomes. The Community Centre provides facilities for the community’s needs at reasonable cost. Rooms are available for hire to the general community but priority will be given  to community groups that are non-profit and are in keeping with the principles of social justice, equity, access, participation and human rights. Ongoing groups may be requested to move to a smaller meeting room depending on requests for space and number of participants attending that group.

The hirer agrees to hold insurance cover to indemnify the Centre against negligence claims related to the hire or any damage caused to rooms or  facilities.  The hirer will take due care to minimise risk to users of the  facility.

You must leave the rooms you hire and common use areas in a clean and tidy condition or risk incurring a $50 an hour cleaning fee. Set up, pack up and cleaning is not included in the room price. Please remove all rubbish and all chairs and tables to be stacked in the storage area. Groups accessing meeting rooms after hours are responsible for securing the room, turning off lights and electrical appliances.

One-off bookings must be paid in advance. One-off bookings incur a $150 bond (low impact events) or $500 (high impact events). Cancellations can be made 2 weeks prior to your booking, we may be able to negotiate to re-schedule your event if possible. Bond will be returned once keys are returned, and rooms assessed.

Keys for after hours bookings need to be collected and returned during Baringa Community Centre office hours. A key register must be signed upon receipt of keys noting which keys have been received. Lost keys will incur a $200 replacement fee.

To ensure reasonable access to all groups the length of booking tenure will be reviewed annually .
