At its meeting on 5 March 2024, Council proposed an amendment to the Community Venue Hire Grants and Fee Scales Policy and resolved to place this amendment on public exhibition for community comment.

The purpose of this policy is to provide clarity regarding the ways Council can assist others, through grants, fee waivers and other resources such as Council venues, to deliver projects and activities which contribute to achieving the community strategic vision.

The policy aims to deliver a consistent, overarching framework for the provision of financial and other assistance across the Inner West Council area, while ensuring good governance and accountability. The policy seeks to align Council’s investment in the community with Council’s Community Strategic Plan.

The proposed amendment states that the Schedule of Scaled Fees and Categories of Organisation be amended to include all creative individuals or groups requesting use of Town Halls or their associated spaces in the 100% scaled fee waiver category, where the activity or event to be held is not primarily a fundraising event.
