Input code times out and doors 'lock' with an alarm at end of booking - security comes to check if doors are still open


Desired number and layout of tables and chairs are set up by staff prior to arrival
SEATING
A square of 4 tables and 20+ chairs is perfect for guitarists to feed a mixer and or share a few iPads where live cameras or song graphics can display on the bigTV.

Another two tables in an inset/enclave in the corner serve as a safe place to quickly store and stack cases, gear etc.

POWER
On ground level (30cm up) there is one near the TV and four in the above-mentioned enclave in the corner.  Good for recharge or for speakers that have wireless receivers.
There are one male, one female and two unisex toilets (including showers) straight outside the door

SHOWERS
Allows folk to arrive and shower
Increments of half hour can be booked pro-rata
MAYBE ... BEST PART OF $30 PER GATHERING INCLUDING 1/2 HOUR OF KITCHEN TIME 'BEFORE'
KITCHEN OPTIONS
May be able to book kitchen meets, greets, tunings and DIY food prep 1/2 hour before Snowgum room club activity actually starts
Kitchen as an add-on is $9 per hour
0.5 hours @ $9 per hour = 4.50
eg 6:30-7:00pm (or earlier in day)
The kitchen will have two tables installed permanently in the centre of the kitchen.

A place to prep food but also to rest equipment and prep HDMI setup for the Snowgum room.
Snowgum room $25 per hour
1 hours @ $25 per hour = 25.00
eg 7:00-8:00pm (or earlier in day)
There is one HDMI input built in to the wall with a selector for/from different devices (eg laptops)
Yet to discern how to pump variables through their preset for the wall HDMI socket (HDMI-2).

There is also a digital selector on the wall for different inputs ... yet to fathom which is best for iPads, Mac Pbk, Rodecaster Video S and/or AppleTV

*NB: $20 usb-c to HDMI cables connect iPads on TV in other environments beautifully so ...
The ideal is an HDMI switcher allowing for a Rodecaster 'and' AppleTV signed in over CBR wifi.

TESTED APPLETV 10 JULY '26
The ACT Govt free wifi is (of course) a captive wifi so there are limits but (surprise surprise) the old v2HD AppleTV logged in to the wifi no problem.  Opening iCloud No.  Listing apps from an account NO.  But (forgot to take iPhone) casting could be a possibility.  Will try later.
HDMI thru TVs
is the only input-output for delivering audio to a room.  The centre has no built in audio wiring other than the cat-5 data ports around the place for the ACT Govt staff.

JAMMING THROUGH A MIXER
The Rodecaster Video S (being an AV mixer/switcher) can therefore route inputs from a separate mixer so that video and audio of a group jam can be both recorded and MONITORED through the TV's speakers ... which are quite substantial.

Grouping guitar leads through small mixers thence through passive DIs to XLR inputs on, say, a Rodecaster Pro I or II would ensure super clarity for recording and monitoring without the need for headphones etc.

Latency for audio on the Rodecaster (when set to 0) is ever so slight (maybe 50ms) giving a nice reverb through the TV ... very nice.
INSURANCE: (see link to conditions of hire) [If required to the] Hirer must ensure it obtains and holds current public liability insurance to the value of $10 million for the Hire Period.

If the Hirer is an incorporated association, not-for-profit organisation, or private individual, the Hirer can opt-in to the
Territory’s public liability insurance by written notice to the Territory, such as via email, subject to
payment of the $250 opt-in fee.
Incorporated body ... is about $240 rego.

OFFICIAL RULES - NOT FOR PROFIT STATUS
 "To receive the community hire rates, hirers are required to provide supporting documentation from the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) confirming their organisation's not-for-profit status."

So ... incorporation and Duck for Cover or the option to take up the ACT Gov's public liability insurance (if it is annual) for $250 is a must.
ADMIN FOR NOT FOR PROFIT STATUS
Have pasted the relevant 'clauses' required by the ACNC in to the draft constitution for:
  • Winding up assets and
  • Not for profit declaration
