Please do not take liberties but consult the office staff first to ensure that no work (mowing or ground repairs etc) is being carried on the grounds before you set up. The grounds are part of Dogs ACT office staff work area and any incivility towards staff and their decisions will be an OH&S and Dogs ACT Council issue.

Dogs ACT will accept NO responsibility for any incident that occurred in defiance to any decision made by office staff.
