What is Right of Use (ROU)? The City of Gold Coast Right of Use (ROU) program is designed to provide for the organised, regulated and coordinated use of all City administered sport and recreation facilities. As the city continually grows, so does the variety of sport and recreational activities and demand on the city s sport and recreation facilities. Through the ROU program, it is the City s priority to minimise potential over-use of facilities via efficient and appropriate facility allocation. All user groups desiring the regular ongoing use of City facilities are required to have a ROU permit and abide by the ROU terms and conditions. The ROU permit does not constitute a lease and does not provide exclusive use of the facility. User groups who currently hold a lease should note that the lease agreement generally covers the built premises only. Where applicable, in addition to the Lease, user groups are required to hold a ROU permit for use of the surrounding area (even if it is where the clubhouse is located). The responsibility for issuing permits for the use of sports fields is the City s and not the organisation. The allocation of the City s sport and recreation facilities is on the basis of user needs and is not on a first in first served basis. City officers have the authority and ability to offer use of the facility to any eligible user groups at other scheduled times, without recourse to other ROU permit holders. Should a ROU permit be issued, this permit does not encompass any other statutory or Local Government approvals and/ or requirements relating to the property that may be required. The provisions herein are deemed to constitute the conditions of a permit for the purposes of Local Law 9 and its Subordinate Local Law. 2015 Right of Use Terms and Conditions (46546275) 1

Allocation of Facilities 3.1 The allocation of the City s sport and recreation facilities is coordinated in January and February each year to coincide with the summer and winter sporting seasons and school terms. An online application (found at http://gcparks.com.au/sporting-club.aspx) must be completed before this time to allow appropriate allocation. 3.2 The sport/ activity that is in season may take priority when allocating use. 3.3 Approval for non-seasonal use will be on a case by case basis at the City Officer s discretion, whilst having regard to the following: the in season sport not requiring use of the facility completion of renovation work and rest period the intensity and impact of the proposed use on the facility. 3.4 Unauthorised use may conflict with scheduled use of a facility by a ROU permit holder.

Any person/ group interested in applying for use of the City s facilities must apply through the ROU program or Park Booking process. 4.7 As most sporting clinics are deemed to be commercial, approval will only be given if it is part of the Active and Healthy Program (which are usually free or minimal cost) or organised by a sporting club, meets the ROU terms and conditions and all net profit from the clinic is returned to the club. If these clinics are outside the approved usage times/ dates, a separate application is required. 4.8 Major events within the city will take priority over any rights granted pursuant to a ROU permit.

Line Marking 7.1 All line marking requirements are the responsibility of the ROU permit holder. Field dimensions must comply with the relevant guidelines, taking into account size, orientation and buffer around the playing area. 7.2 Where there is more than one user group allocated to a facility, it is the responsibility of both parties to co-ordinate their line marking requirements and scheduling. 7.3 Only products such as agricultural limestone, water based spray paint or other similar material which will not endanger users or damage the turf may be used for line marking.

This usually takes priority over any use therefore, user groups are encouraged to schedule their use to accommodate maintenance work. 8.7 Most of the renovation program takes place during the growth period from September to January. All ROU permit holders must allow for closure of fields for four to 16 weeks during this time (depending on the work being undertaken). Where possible, the City will schedule works in consultation with the ROU permit holder to ensure minimal impact. 2015 Right of Use Terms and Conditions (46546275) 7

Junior use refers to those 18 years of age or younger. 9.4 During exceptional wet weather conditions, all fields may be closed for all users and age groups. 9.5 If the City closes a facility due to wet weather, maintenance or renovation, no activity on the field or facilities is permitted. Signs may be erected around the perimeter of the fields and should not be removed under any circumstances. 9.6 Where the City recommends facilities be closed due to wet weather and the ROU permit holder disregards this advice, the ROU permit holder does so at its own risk and may be liable for damage caused to persons or property. Failure to adhere to the closure may result in the ROU permit holder being held responsible for repair costs or fined under Council s Local Law No. 9. 10. Sports Field Lighting 10.1 Sports field lights must be turned off no later than 10pm, unless prior written consent is obtained through the City. 10.2 The City is responsible for the general maintenance of lighting.

damage, faults or operational issues should be promptly reported to the City (refer to page 14 for contact details). 10.3 The ROU permit holder is responsible for the electricity that it uses at the facility.

Events 16.1 The ROU permit does not constitute approval to stage community or major events. User groups are required to seek the City s approval for any such event and ensure they are carried out in a safe manner whilst preventing nuisances to the surrounding environment. If an event requires extra infrastructure (eg. portable toilets, bins, marquees, jumping castle) or may cause nuisance (eg. traffic, noise), the applicant must: a b submit a Community or Major Event form located at https://forms.business.gov.au/aba/qldlg2/application-for-use-of-councilcontrolled-land-community-or-major-events/ liaise with any other user groups that may be affected by the event. 16.2 If the event is approved, the applicant will then receive a letter from the City, which will include additional conditions and may incur a refundable bond. 16.3 If vehicle access is required within the park, then a key may be allocated during the period of the event.

16.6 Although the City regularly cleans and re-stocks public amenities, ROU permit holders are required to provide additional supplies eg. toilet paper, if the use period and numbers are greater than usual. 17. Community Use of Schools 17.1 To utilise a school facility which has been registered through the community use of schools program, a Department of Education, Training and Employment application form must be completed. 17.2 If approved, an induction of the facility will be organised and a map, contact list and operational procedure supplied to the ROU permit holder. 17.3 The ROU permit holder for the facility must adhere to the Agreement to Hire Department of Education and Training Premises (v2010) Standard Conditions. 17.4 The Department of Education, Training and Employment and the school, in partnership with the City have opened their facility for community use as part of a city wide community use of schools program. Should the ROU permit holder not respect facilities and/ or adhere to the terms and conditions, this will jeopardise use of the site for the permit holder and could potentially threaten the future of the community use of schools program. 18. Public Risk and Liability 18.1 The ROU permit holder must hold a Public Liability Insurance Policy of no less than $20 million and provide evidence of this to the City in the form of a valid certificate of currency of insurance with the ROU application form. 18.2 The City has statutory control of the fields, not the ROU permit holder. Any use of the City s sport and recreation facilities must be approved by the City to ensure ROU permit holders do not have legal liability exposure. 18.3 The ROU permit holder must undertake a risk assessment and inspect the facilities and associated infrastructure immediately before and after use. Any facilities deemed to be unsuitable/ unsafe, must not be used and be reported immediately to City Officers (refer to page 14 for contact details). 18.4 The City may determine a facility is not suitable for use at any time and notify the relevant user groups. 18.5 ROU permit holders must ensure individuals overseeing activities with children have valid working with children accreditation in accordance with the requirements of the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act 2000. 18.6 The ROU permit holder must comply with the relevant requirements of the Work Health & Safety Act 2011 and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011. 2015 Right of Use Terms and Conditions (46546275) 12
