The building houses approximately 300 employees and is open to the public between 0830 and 1700 hours Monday to Thursday and between 0830 and 1630 hours on Friday. With some exceptions staff generally work between 0800 hours and 1800 hours Monday to Friday. The Civic and Committee Suite Complex, Mayor's Parlour, Members' Room and Council Leader's Office are all to be cleaned to a very high standard commensurate with their use for formal civic functions and for entertaining Civic visitors.

Stone Area Office

The Contractor shall provide a cleaning service to the areas between 17:00 and 19:00 hours Monday to Thursday and 16:30 to 18:30 hours on Friday. Work shall be carried out in such a way that disturbance to Council Members, staff and the public is minimised and the Contractor shall take all measures necessary for the safety of members, staff and the public including the provision of warning signs.
