Getting Started

New to facilitating at Common Good Spaces? This section helps you prepare for a successful session.

Before your session

A few things to sort before you arrive:

  1. Confirm your booking — You should have received confirmation with your session details, WiFi password, and any specific arrangements
  2. Review the facilities — Check what is available and what you need to bring
  3. Plan your layout — Think about how you want to arrange the space
  4. Prepare your safety plan — If your activity involves any risk (cutting, heat, etc.), draft a simple safety plan

On the day

When you arrive:

  1. Find us — We are at 69 Forest Street, Castlemaine. The entrance is on Forest Street, look for the Common Good Spaces window signage.
  2. Access — Standard hours are 8:30am–5:00pm, or as agreed for your booking
  3. Get connected — Connect to WiFi using the password from your booking confirmation
  4. Set up — Arrange the tables and space to suit your session
  5. Safety check — Conduct a quick safety check of your configuration before participants arrive

Safety first

Before your session starts, check that your setup is safe — no tripping hazards, clear access to the exit, and power cables managed safely.
