Plans and specifications requirements
Plans of the proposed premises are required to be lodged with the application in order for the licensing authority to define the area in which the sale, supply and in some cases, the consumption of liquor will occur if the licence is granted.
Standards of licensed premises
Public interest test
In the case of an application to convert to a tavern or hotel restricted licence, the applicant may be required to demonstrate that the application is in the public interest, having regard to the likely health and social impacts on the community and sub-groups within the community. The applicant will be advised during the processing of the application.
The public interest test will require that the applicant satisfy the licensing authority by way of a public interest assessment that it is in the public interest for the application to be granted.
Lodging the application
Applicants must lodge completed applications at the department. An application should be made using the forms provided below.
Department staff will be available between 8.30 am and 4.00 pm to assess your application to ensure that it meets the legislative requirements prior to lodgement
