4.1 Addendum to CMHA Inc. Budget Forecast  t
                          af
1. Once the Cooroy Memorial Hall has been refurbished the CMHA Inc. will be in a position to
   rent it to local groups and organisations. Submissions of interest from past hall renters have
   been requested and expressed in those is the belief that the hall can and should be brought
   back to a viable and vibrant state for which the town of Cooroy will be proud.
2. The budget forecast is based on a conservative 40% tenancy in line with other halls in the
    Dr
   area. The rental income figure is based conservatively on the hall being rented 12 (average)
   of the 18 available hours x 7 days a week. Estimating that it would be rented out for 40% of
   that time, then the hours of use in a year would be 1747.
3. The rental income of the hall would depend on renters needs. If required use is only the floor
   space for dancing or exercise, then the committee would be able to charge an hourly rate of
   $20. If anyone required use of the kitchen to offer food, then the Association would charge
   an additional fee depending on the level of requirement. A cleaning fee will be payable in
   addition to hire fees. Weddings would be the best income earner. However, at this early
   stage it is not envisaged that there will be more than 3 to 4 weddings in a year. This will
   change once the hall is renovated and advertising is in place to entice people into a
   magnificent heritage venue which CMHA Inc. believe this hall can be.
4. All users would be required to pay a bond which would be refundable provided no damage or
   theft has occurred at the hall and provided the hall was left in a same clean and tidy manner.
   The bond and rental will be payable in advance.
