Hire Policy

HIRE POLICY - Hire is Facilitated from the Kedron Store

Normal costume hire period is overnight or for a weekend i.e. Friday through to Monday. 

Extended hire rates vary dependent on the costume and subject to its availability and demand. 

All hire prices are G.S.T inclusive and are subject to change at any time.  EFTPOS and credit card facilities are available. 

All costumes carry a refundable security deposit as per the general hire conditions (see below).  The average security deposit is $50.00 per costume/item and can be paid for in cash, EFTPOS or by credit card.  

The hire fee and security deposit must be paid for in full upon collection of costumes. 

A minimum deposit of $20.00 is required for each costume booked and held for collection at a later date.  This deposit is then deducted from the total hire price upon collection of the costume.

Cancellation or exchanging of booked costumes will incur a $20.00 cancellation fee, which will be deducted from the holding deposit.
