  • Building: "Generally, Council will insure all existing buildings, unless alternative provisions are expressly indicated in the tenure agreement." "Any new structures erected by the tenant during tenure are to be insured by the tenant" (information kit).
  • Contents: "contents insurance to cover the organisation's possessions" (information kit).
  • Council named on the club's policy (an "interested party"): Not stated in the documents read.
  • Certificate of currency: "Council may require evidence that required insurance policies are current at any time." (information kit).
