Conference 2009 Venue Session notes
27th Jul 2009

Do we as a community need to set minimum operational standards for the continued use of venues, what should these standards be, how do we enforce this

This session highlighted a definite requirement for standards for venue design and operation.
It is strongly suggested that the Ministry of Education is contacted to outline our communities concerns of many performing arts venues at educational facilities.
Engage the wider community involved in the design and operation of entertainment venues, eg Architect Institute, Engineers Institute, LTNZ, Education Gazzette.
Any standards to be general initially, not prescriptive.
Use the ETNZ website forum as standards evolve.
Set up an ETNZ sub-committee to start the process of writing a standards document. The following people are willing to be involved: Phil Conroy (suggested Chairperson of the committee), Derek Simpson, Charlotte Gordon, Steve Reader, Richard Wiltshire, Grant
