Community access to school facilities

Types of agreements for access to school sports facilities
Casual Hire and License Agreements
Schools can provide community access to their sports facilities through short-term casual hire or licence agreements.
- Casual hire agreements are used for non- exclusive access to facilities of less than 12 months.
- Licence agreements are used for non-exclusive access to facilities for specified period of time longer than 12 months.
Joint Development and Use Agreements
Joint development and use agreements are used when a non-DECYP partner makes some contribution to a facility in return for access to, or use of the facility. For example, this may include, a donation to upgrade the facility or a request for a grant to build on school land by a group in order to access a facility suitable for their own use.
Joint Development and Use Agreements will only be entered into where there is a clear benefit to DECYP.
