What happens after I lodge my application?

Once you lodge a complete application, we will post it on our Liquor and Gaming Application Noticeboard for up to 30 days which gives the public an opportunity to comment.

Your application can take longer to review if we don’t have all the details we need to assess it. We will come back to you to obtain the missing information to progress your application. You can help us speed up the process by:

• Providing all the correct information at the time you apply
• Responding to our request for missing information as soon as possible after we contact you.

Once your application is determined, we’ll send you an email advising you of the outcome. The decision will also appear on the Liquor and Gaming Application Noticeboard.

Once your licence has been issued, you can begin selling liquor as soon as you:

• Purchase mandatory signs from us and display them in your venue
• ensure that the premises is ready to trade and you have met any council requirements.
