LONG-TERM
WTC treats any hire of seven days or more as long term. Due to hires of such nature resulting in the centre being unavailable for other groups, each day is charged for from the first to the last day of the hire. Special discounted rates may apply for days the building is not occupied.

These rates are only available upon application. Charges for time IN the complex, however, are at a rate similar to the short term rates above.

 
OTHER CHARGES
WTC Representative - This charge is compulsory, as it covers the building being opened and closed, as well as supervision of the building during the hire. Rates are $30 per day, or $40 per night. This charge is made for each day of hire.
Lighting & Sound Technician - All hires which involve the use of lighting or sound equipment, whether or not this belongs to WTC, are required to have the WTC representative on site. This is a base technical charge of $25 per hour of hire.

Lighting and Sound Equipment - WTC has a range of lighting and sound equipment which can be hired for use during your hire, subject to equipment and technician availability. These charges vary based on the quantity and type of equipment. Further details can be given after a consultation with the venue technician.

Other Staff - WTC may be able to supply further staffing for your event, including waiters, ushers and bar staff. This is subject to availability, and each additional staff member is charged for at the WTC Representative rate.
DISCOUNTS: Discounts may be negotiated for kindred societies, non-profit organisations, community groups etc., on an individual basis

PARKING: Parking is available for approximately 50 cars.
