Staffing
If the public is attending the event or if the technical equipment is being used, a Venue Manager must be present. This will be assessed case by case at the discretion of the venue.
The Venue Manager can operate a basic lighting state, and sound equipment: up to two microphones and/or an aux input. For anything more complex the hirer is required to engage a technical operator.
A technical operator (sound and lighting) is not included in the cost of hiring the venue. If you need help finding an operator, let us know. If you are using our in-house system, you must have an operator to do so.
| Venue Manager | $46/hour |
