Lilydale Memorial Hall hire fees and charges 2026

Total charges may change in the event of cancellations or requests for additional or extended bookings, as specified in the Terms and Conditions for Lilydale Memorial Hall Hire.

Hirers are encouraged to pay all hire fees and bonds to LDPA by EFT (account details below).

The following charges apply to the hire of the whole hall or any part of it (such as the supper room). 

Fees and Charges

1 Community organisations: 

Meetings of not for profit community organisations operating in the Lilydale district for the benefit of members of the Lilydale community.

Free use, with a donation to the LDPA appreciated but not required.

Such bookings will be subject to hall availability and may not be possible where a commercial booking is requested for the same time.

2 Activities for members of the Lilydale community:

Activities organised by individuals or organisations (such as clubs or community groups) for the benefit of members of the Lilydale community. For example, yoga or tai chi sessions, art classes, dance or martial arts classes, choir practice, community sports, etc.

  • Non-Regular Hirer – per hour $14/hr
  • Non-Regular Hirer – half day (4 hours) $42
  • Non-Regular Hirer – full day (more than 4 hours) $63 
  • Regular Hirer – per hour $11/hr 
  • Regular Hirer – half day (4 hours) $33 
  • Regular Hirer – full day (more than 4 hours) $49 

The charge for a half hour is the same as for a full hour.

A regular hirer is one who makes and pays for a minimum of four bookings in a six month period. If a non-regular hirer becomes a regular hirer, no refunds will be paid for any hires charged under the non-regular rate.

Note that charges do not include GST as the Lilydale District Progress Association is not registered to collect GST.

3 Commercial hire:

Commercial hire is any hire that does not meet the conditions for 1) and 2) above. Some examples of commercial hire include, but are not limited to: wedding reception, funeral, performance by a theatre company or a band, use as a polling station, use by government organisations, exhibitions or conferences. Any activity that involves the service of alcohol is automatically classified as commercial hire.

A decision to charge commercial hire rates is made solely at the discretion of the Lilydale Memorial Hall Management Committee.

Use of the kitchen

Use of the kitchen is included in hall hire charges, EXCEPT use of the cooktops. Use of the kitchen includes the microwave, pie warmer, tea urn and cutlery, glassware and crockery. All items used must be washed up or cleaned and returned to where they were at the start of the hire.

Use of the cooktops must be notified in advance and will incur an additional charge of $5 per hire.

Cleaning

Hirers are required to leave the hall clean, neat and tidy, in the same state as it was at the beginning of the hire. The hall is professionally cleaned only once a week.

Hirers may pay for a cleaning service by prior arrangement with the LDPA. The cost of this service will be at the rate charged by the contracted cleaner, with a $5 additional fee to the LDPA to arrange the service.

Hirers may choose to arrange and pay for their own cleaning to ensure that the hall is returned to the state it was when it was hired. Cleaners engaged by hirers are required to use their own equipment and products.

Bond

A fully refundable bond of $100 is required for all bookings. The bond will be refunded upon the return of the keys and confirmation that the Hall has been left in the condition in which it was found at the start of the hire.

For events where alcohol will be served, the bond is $300.

Trestle tables

The LDPOA has lightweight trestle tables for the use of hirers of the hall. 

The cost is $2 per table per hire occasion.

Arrangements must be made in advance with the LDPA.

Cancellation Terms:

  • 0% refund if cancelled by hirer within 48hrs of booking start time
  • 50% refund if cancelled by hirer between 48hrs and 27 days of booking start time
