Guidance on notifying stakeholders

Notifying neighbours

If you are required to notify the occupiers of neighbouring buildings, the measurement is taken from the boundary of the proposed licensed premises (and not the centre). You may wish to notify a wider area to ensure your local community is aware of the application. If neighbouring premises are strata title buildings, notification should be given to:

• the Owners Corporation
• individual occupiers of any premises within the building where those premises immediately adjoin the proposed premises

Notifying Aboriginal communities

**To find recognised leaders or representatives of the local Aboriginal community, medical, health or social organisations visit:

• the NSW Aboriginal Land Council and navigate to Land Councils > LALC Regions & Boundaries.
• the Aboriginal Health & Medical Research Council of NSW and navigate to member services to find your local Aboriginal Medical Service,
• the NSW Aboriginal Affairs website and navigate to Aboriginal Regional Alliances to find out which Aboriginal organisation’s represent your area

Notifying gambling-related counselling or treatment services
