USAGE RULES

The Peninsula Bay Community Facility (the Facility) is for the use of Members and their families. The standard of use and behaviour should be consistent with a family focussed environment. The use of bad language, excessive alcohol consumption, and other forms of generally unacceptable/antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in access being terminated.

Members agree to observe all the rules set out below and as may be further stipulated by Peninsula Bay Community Facility Incorporated (PBCFI) and be responsible for ensuring anyone accessing the Facility using the Member’s access card understands and observes these rules. Any accidents/incidents must be recorded in the Health & Safety Manual provided in the Community Lounge and reported to PBCFI Committee at penbaypool@gmail.com. Facilities and equipment are available for use only at the risk of users and without liability of any kind to PBCFI.
