7235 Huon Highway, Dover

The Dover Oval was originally situated in the Centre of town which is now Huon Regional Care.  The old Dover Oval Clubrooms that were near the tennis courts is now the Dover Child Care Centre.

The old Dover Hospital was near the water on Bay View Road in the 80’s.  A local resident, Jim Casey, suggested to move the oval and build a new medical Centre on the old oval.  After much deliberation, this was approved and put into effect.  Mr. Casey donated the land that now houses the Dover oval otherwise known as the Jim Casey Oval.

The planning and lobbying for the new clubrooms started in about 2004 and was officially opened in 2009.  Over the years, the land and building have ended up with Council ownership with much of the same original committee still active members

Function Bonds for functions and events such as weddings, birthday parties, funerals and fundraisers where consumption of alcohol will take place.

General Bond to be applied at the discretion of the Hall Management Committee.

Hall Committee Market Stallholder Fee is assessed and resolved formally by the Hall Committee by way of a meeting minutes.

Meeting Room Rate is to be used when the venue is rented for a meeting, with 15 or less attendees, rather than an event or activity to a non-profit community organisation or group.

Other Rate: Health and Wellbeing Rate, Arts and Culture Rate and Community Development or Bona Fide Community Group Rate are to be applied when the venue is rented for an event or activity that does not aim to generate profit. Final discretion sits with the relevant Hall Committee.

If one Hall or Meeting room is utilised more than once a week by the same user, the hire fee can be discounted by 25%.  This does not apply to the Heath and Wellbeing, Arts and Culture, Community Benefit or Bona Fide Community Group Rate.

In instances where the application of the above fees upon a group would cause undue hardships such as to preclude the viability of conducting an event, application may be made to the Director of Community Services for consideration of a reduction in the set fee.

In instances where a booking has been made at a quoted rate, the hirer will be charged that rate if the hire takes place within 6 months of the fees and charges varying.  This provides hirers with 6 months notice to any change in hire fees.

Rooms should be left as found, if cleaning is required appropriate charge will be levied, if damage occurs appropriate charges will be deducted from the bond and/or charged to the hirer.

Additional Charges for extra technical equipment, room set-up/breakdown and services (e.g. cleaning) as assessed by the Hall Committee/Council Staff.

Being part of a hall management committee can be a rewarding way to participate in our community. Council’s community halls are venues where we can socialise, entertain and perhaps find a connection with our heritage.

We are interested in looking at opportunities to promote our halls as viable options as event venues, not only for the people of the Huon Valley but also for potential customers further afield.

Council values the work that hall management committees have carried out in the past and we look forward to working collaboratively with all committees towards achieving beneficial outcomes for our Huon Valley Community.

Most Council-owned halls are managed by a committee. Fees are set by the Council and are charged based on a hall’s rating (category 1-3).
