RUNNING CLUB EVENTS
Event Applications & Venue Bookings
All club events and activities require Guild approval. This includes events & activities on AND off-campus.
Clubs are able to have events provided that the requirements in the Guild Club Events Policy are met. Clubs must:
- apply for and meet approval requirements (all events must be approved),
- not conduct prohibited events,
- meet legal requirements (e.g. liquor and food licences),
- act to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all students.
Application & Approval Process
To gain Guild approval, clubs must notify the Guild:
- Before planning your event, check which category your event falls under & how much lead-in time is required to notify the Guild.
- Prepare your event plan / brief for your event application. Here’s some event planning resources.
- Lodge your event with the Guild & book a venue.
- Continue finalising your event plans.
- Do not go ahead with the event without approval. Please always follow-up with the Guild club support team if an approval has not been received.
- Follow all safety management procedures & if an incident occurs, always report it.
Changes coming (2024). Clubs can expect to gain access to Curtin room booking system to select their own venues.
