The rate is not available for bookings involving commercial activities, private gain, or events connected to political parties, candidates, or campaigns, where the activity is associated with an individual or group seeking elected office or advancing a political position.

Please note, eligibility for the Community Rate is determined at the discretion of Selwyn District Council. Proof of non-profit status or community benefit may be required.

Standard Rate: Applies to all other bookings that do not qualify for the Community Rate, including private or commercial events.
