1. The Kirribilli Centre (TKC) must receive full payment for the room hire prior to the event.

2. As a hirer of these premises, it is a requirement of North Sydney Council that you have your own Public Liability Insurance. This is to cover your activity in case of an accident or injury, which may occur through no fault of either the owners (North Sydney Council) or the managers (The Kirribilli Centre). TKC staff/caretaker may refuse entry to the booked venue if the hirer doesn’t have a valid/current public liability insurance. No room hire refund will be given if entry is refused on the ground of an invalid public liability insurance. If you are booking on behalf of a private business, company or an Incorporated group you will need to provide a certificate of currency. If you are booking as an individual, you will need to pay a non-refundable/non-transferable casual insurance fee payable directly to North Sydney Council. Our front of office staff will be able to assist you with this. For hirers with their own insurance, their policy must include a $10 million Public Liability Insurance as minimum.

17. Booking Cancellation and Refunds We receive daily enquiries about room hire bookings and we want to ensure that our facilities are available as often as possible. Cancellations, no-shows, and failure to pay on time (or at all) impact on our ability to run our programs for the community. For this reason, we have had to introduce some clear cancellation guidelines. We prefer payment electronically.
