titleSchedules

Alterations and changes to Doors are managed by IT and Property.

  • IT for Staff Accessed spaces including most of the CTP
  • Property for Tennant related spaces including workshops.


Access changes fit into one of the three paths::

  • Calendar Actions are used for tempoary changes to security building access for things such as Open Day, Pizza and Pixels, and other variouse Events.
    • They overwrite Day to Day Schedules.
    • Since Calendar Actions overwrite the Day to Day Schedules you will need to keep the existing Schedule in mind for the start and end times.
    • Event Organisers will still need to contact security in regards to Alarms and After Hours Access.


  • Day to Day Schedules are used for the general security schedules.


  • Holiday Groups are only used for State and National Holidays, this should ideally be checked and updated Yearly.
    • They overwrite Day to Day Schedules and Calendar Actions.
