   5.3.     Corporate and School Volunteering
   Where organisations or volunteers wish to initiate school or corporate groups on Council managed
   land, the Volunteer Group Coordinator must first refer the organisation to Council to ensure it has
   appropriate insurances and supervision in place prior to the commencement of any volunteer work by
   the organisation. As Council’s insurances do not cover external organisations, such as schools or
   corporate groups, a free Council event permit is required by the organisation to ensure the appropriate
   insurances and safety measures are in place for all participants.
   At the event, all volunteers and participants should complete the Community Bushland Care
   Attendance and Risk Assessment form and follow Council’s Workplace Health and Safety guidelines.
   Organisations and volunteers should ensure there is adequate supervision by teachers/staff at the
   event. Volunteers may also be required to hold a blue card.
   For   more   information, please   contact  the  property  department   at  Council   via  email
                              who can provide guidance and assistance.
