Each hall and centre has different fees and charges. Download our Neighbourhood Facilities 2025-26 Fees and Charges. This list applies from 1 July 2025 and overrides all previously listed fees.

A public holiday surcharge may apply if Council incurs any additional costs. Some other additional fees and charges may also apply. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions of Hire section below for more information.

Our fees are reviewed and updated on 1 July each year.

Penrith City Council uses an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to manage and allocate regular hire bookings. This process is designed to be transparent and equitable, ensuring all community members have the opportunity to express their interest in hiring one or more community facilities on a regular basis.

EOI Timeline

  • The EOI period opens every two years during August and September
  • The next EOI period will open in 2026 for regular hire bookings in the 2027 and 2028 calendar years.

How Can I Submit an EOI When They Open?
If you would like to register your details so you do not miss the EOI period, please send an email to

Outside the EOI Period
You may enquire about availability and submit a regular hire request at any time.
Requests made outside the EOI period will only be confirmed until the end of the current two year cycle and are subject to availability.

To enquire, contact the Community Facilities team on 02 4732 8021.

Assessment and Notification

  • All EOI submissions are assessed in line with the Neighbourhood Facilities Management Policy.
  • If you are unsuccessful in securing the facility you applied for, we will work with you to identify if a suitable alternative venue is available.
  • Applicants will receive written notification advising whether their application has been successful.

Why the EOI Process Is Used
Regular hire bookings are highly sought after. The EOI process provides a fair and transparent approach to allocating community facility spaces.
