Terms of service.
The basics.
-
The venue is BYO, however if you wish to SELL alcohol at your event you will be required by law to have a Liquor licence and all that comes with that. You will need to make contact with PNCC.
Sundays Collective does not hold a liquor licence, it is your responsibility as the Hirer to determine if you need one.
The areas immediately outside of Sundays Collective are a PNCC Liquor Ban Area, No Alcohol can be consumed outside of this area. We are also directly opposite the Police station… Please keep Alcohol inside.
We recommend using a Bar Service to help manage alcohol service for large events. Some of our vendors offer this service.
-
Rubbish disposal ( limited to 2 large bags (provided) per event ) Please don’t use the Rubbish Bin to dispose of Recyclable material.
We provide Bins for Brown Glass, Green Glass, and Aluminium Can Recycling.
Please take care to sort accordingly. If significant sorting is required, we reserve the right to withhold a portion of Bond for the time it takes to sort. Again this is where a Bar Service is worth its weight in gold.

The evacuation Point is across the road on the Grass outside Farmers.
EARTHQUAKE
Drop, cover, and hold on! Move only a few steps to a nearby safe place. Most injured persons in earthquakes move more than five feet during the shaking. It is very dangerous to try to leave a building during an earthquake because objects can fall on you. Many fatalities occur when people run outside of buildings, only to be killed by falling debris from collapsing walls.

EARTHQUAKE
The Sundays Collective Buildings are Earthquake prone, in particular the front Brick Room. The Building is largely made up of unreinforced brick making it a hazard in an earthquake. Although there is no definitive answer as to the best course of action in an earthquake most guidance says to get under large beams or doorways, Brace and Hold on. Leaving the building can be dangerous due to falling debris. If you do leave the building get to a space with no tall buildings - like the old freedom furniture building.
MEDICAL EMERGENCY
First aid kit located in the cleaning cupboard near the main kitchen.
Call 111 for emergency services.
You will be asked to read, understand your obligations to your guests on booking our spaces.
