GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                       16 APRIL 2018

  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.
