A permanent Add, Vary or Cancel application is used where the licensee wishes to change an imposed condition of its liquor licence. You can choose to add a new condition, vary an existing condition or cancel an existing condition.
Lodging the application
Applicants must lodge a completed application form (see below) with the department.

Application fees are not subject to GST.
Applications will not be progressed until the fee is received. Generally, the application fee is not refundable, even if the application is refused or withdrawn.

Other documents that may be required
Evidence of tenure – with respect to club or club restricted licences seeking to vary the trading hours imposed and where the club is not the freehold owner of the premises. This document must give the applicant exclusive right to occupy the premises during the additional days/hours sought. As the local shire or council will generally be the freehold owner, a letter from the shire or council demonstrating evidence of tenure will suffice.
Written consent from the proprietor of the premises where liquor will be stored and delivered from in respect of wholesalers and producers wishing to store and deliver liquor sold on licensed premises from an off-site storage location.
