|||||||||||||||||||||
3.6.1 Catering services 3.6.1 Catering servicesFacilities Management is responsible for the provision of catering services on all QUT sites. Services are delivered through a variety of outlets including:
Trading hours Where possible, refectory and coffee shop hours are coordinated with scheduled classes but do vary according to the campus and outlet, and the economic realities of business operations may mean that some classes are not catered for. 3.6.2 Meetings, functions and external cateringThe caterer who operates the refectory facility on each campus has preferential catering rights for the seating area that forms part of the refectory. Subject to the guidelines provided by Finance and Resource Planning in respect of providing hospitality and the purchase of catering (see G/5.6 ), there are no other restrictions upon the choice of caterer, whether internal or external, for meetings and functions. An exception is the Gardens Theatre and Art Museum, where the operator of the catering outlet in X Block has “first right of refusal”. Further details are available in the Catering Guidelines on the Facilities Management Web Page . Appropriate arrangements must be made with Campus Services where external caterers require car parking on the site in order to cater for a function or event. 3.6.3 Licensed facilitiesThere are a number of Student Guild operated and privately operated outlets on QUT campuses which are licensed to serve alcohol and are subject to relevant legislation. In addition, QUT has established specific policy and regulations for persons accepting responsibility for organising functions on University premises at which alcohol will be available and for persons serving alcohol at functions on University premises - see H/3.6.4 below. 3.6.4 Policy on use of alcoholQUT is committed to combating problems arising from alcohol use and to providing the community with model behaviours as an employer and an educator. It encourages and promotes moderation in and a responsible attitude towards the use of alcohol in the University community through the generation of policy statements and the vigorous implementation of regulations for consumption. The bringing, keeping or consuming of alcohol on any University site must be in accordance with the requirements of the Liquor Act and relevant University regulations, and will be effectively policed by Campus Coordinators or their delegates. The University is committed to the development of on-going educative, research and evaluation, and training programs with regard to alcohol use where required both within and without course structures. The University is committed to ensuring the availability of a confidential and non-judgemental treatment response for staff and students with alcohol-related problems through the provision of appropriately-trained in-house support and/or external referral. The University endorses the National Health Policy on Alcohol in Australia as adopted by the Australian Government's Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy. Regulations concerning alcohol use at functions Any scheduled or organised event, where admission is to be charged or which is advertised publicly and where it is intended to serve alcohol, must be registered with the Campus Coordinator before the event and should be conducted within the following regulations. These same regulations apply to hirers of University facilities where alcohol is to be provided or sold.
