Hi Everyone, 

As discussed, I have attached the subsidisation rates/discount definitions for your reference.

I have attached our subsidisation rates presented to Council for adoption 24/25:

To streamline our subsidisation rates across the venues, halls and community spaces, the new rates for “Subsidised Commercial” and “Community” are as follows:

• Commercial – 100%
• Subsidised Commercial – 80%, (previously 75%)
• Community/Non-Commercial – 40%, (previously 35%).

Please Note:

• Subsidies only apply to room hire charges.

Commercial

• A user whose primary function is to generate a commercial profit or who operates as a business.

Subsidised Commercial

• A user whose primary function is to generate a commercial profit by fundraising for a community benefit.

Community/Non-Commercial

• Incorporated or Unincorporated Associations and Interest groups - Community organisations that are incorporated or unincorporated do not operate for profit.
• Charitable Organisations / Not for Profit Organisations
• Charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).

Note: A business, government or other entity that is providing a community benefit or not generating a profit from the hire of the  venue is not considered a not-for-profit organisation.

User type verification/documentation may be required upon booking.

Hope this helps.  Please let me know if you have any questions - renee.blackburn@tr.qld.gov.au
