Joint use
Joint use arrangements involve third party funding for the build and maintenance costs of a new or upgraded school facility. The school uses the asset during school hours and the third party outside of hours.
Shared use
At School Infrastructure NSW we ensure that public schools are public spaces.
We share our school facilities with government agencies, local councils, sporting organisations and not-for-profits to ensure that facilities such as halls, libraries and sporting fields can be used by the wider community outside of school hours.
Public schools are central to all communities across the state and local schools play an important role in shaping the culture, environment and economy of each local area.
Supporting students, schools and communities
We are proud of the high-quality facilities we deliver to support our students, their families and our staff. By taking a shared use approach we can deliver modern, purpose-built facilities that both students and communities can use and enjoy.
You can register to be notified of open briefings being held associated with Shared Use or Joint Use opportunities.
Types of shared use arrangements
A shared approach to school and community infrastructure helps us deliver modern, purpose-built facilities and ensures schools are at the centre of communities.
There are several types of shared use arrangements:
Shared use licences
Shared use licences enable third parties to enter into longer term agreements to hire school facilities.
Community use
Community use arrangements involve hire of school facilities for one-off use or periods of less than 12 months.
Share Our Space
Share Our Space School holiday program invites organisations to hold free activities in school grounds to engage children, young people and families.
Markets
Our school facilities are available for use by third parties and community organisations to operate markets.
Expressions of interest
We are interested in receiving Expressions of Interest from organisations or individuals interested in joint use and shared use licence agreements.
