Use of Campus Grounds Request

Fields marked with * must be completed.

Terms and conditions

Anyone wanting to use Dunedin campus grounds for a commercial activity or non-commercial event, which is not part of the University’s or OUSA’s own operations, must lodge a request via this online form.

More detail on the types of requests that may be permitted can be found on the University’s policy library website, under the ‘Private use of Dunedin campus grounds guidelines’.

Key points to note:
  • Try to book as early as possible. At least two weeks in advance is recommended to allow sufficient time to circulate and approve the request in advance of your event.
  • Requests from student-related groups to sell food for fundraising purposes will be referred to OUSA for consideration. In general, only ‘one-off’ fundraisers (eg, in response to a natural disaster) will be approved.
  • - Details section of form. Please provide information on:
    • estimated number of people likely to attend event
    • what equipment you will be using (electrical, cooking, tables, displays, tents, etc…)
    • whether you will need to bring any vehicles onto campus
    • whether you intend to give away food
    • whether you intend to sell food
    • whether you intend to give away or sell non-food items
    • Health & safety of people on campus is a priority for the University, so you may be asked to provide additional information on health and safety risks and plans for your event.
Terms and Conditions
  • Leave grounds as you found them, take all rubbish and materials with you. Make sure any pegs are retrieved, as these can become projectiles during mowing.
