  • Building: The toolkit says "Council will provide building insurance" for buildings it owns, and "These insurance costs will be on-charged to tenure holders as a condition of all new tenure arrangements." The policy says "Tenure holders will be responsible for building insurance on any building, facilities or assets for which they are the recognised owner".
  • Contents: Not stated in the documents read.
  • Council named on the club's policy (an "interested party"): Not stated in the documents read.
  • Certificate of currency: Under "Annual update to Council": "Tenure holders must provide Council with copies of certificates of currency" (policy).
