Lost items

Any items lost by entrants to Bellingen Memorial Hall can be reported to staff at Council Chambers during opening hours or directly to the Venue Coordinator via email: Memorial.Hall@bellingen.nsw.gov.au
Council maintains a register of lost and found property.
Individuals will be contacted if an item is found matching the lost item's description.

Found items

Any items found at Bellingen Memorial Hall will be stored at Council Chambers and the Venue Coordinator will:

if cash is found, count the cash in the presence of the finder and record this in the lost and found register,
try to locate the owner by:

checking the lost and found register to see whether it was previously reported as lost, or
contact the owner, if the items have a name or other identifiable markings, or

where the owner cannot be immediately located, record items in the lost and found property register (unless it is determined to be of low value and disposed of immediately).

Owners will be required to provide proof of identity and, if necessary, a description of the item, before the property is returned. These details will be recorded in the lost and found property register.

Disposal of Found items

Found items with an estimated value of less than $10 may be disposed of immediately, and all other items will be disposed of after three months. Cash or items of significant monetary or sentimental value may be disposed of after six months.
Council will bear no responsibility for inaccurately estimating the value of a found item or for disposing of it at any time.
The Venue Coordinator will determine the appropriate method of disposal, which may include donation (eg. Vinnies), recycling, rubbish collection or other methods.
Items containing personal or confidential information will be securely destroyed or disposed of.
The lost and found property register will be updated with disposal details.
