Liquor Licensing

A liquor licence is required from the Department of Racing, Gaming & Liquor when alcohol is intended to be sold, supplied or consumed, unless an exemption is applicable.

A number of different liquor licences exist, according to the nature in which alcohol is supplied to the community. A temporary liquor licence is an occasional licence which is granted solely for specific short term durations and usually for events.

The Town performs the following functions around liquor licensing:

  • Consumption of alcohol on a Town facility or reserve
    • Where alcohol is to be consumed on a Town facility or reserve, an application must be submitted to the Environmental Health department for assessment and approval
  • Authorisation under health legislation
    • As per section 39 of the Liquor Control Act 1988, the Environmental Health department conducts an inspection of new licensed premises to assess compliance with requirements of health legislation
