Liquor and wine licensing

Reasons for decisions about liquor and gaming licence applications

When a new liquor or gaming licence application is made but receives community responses in the form of comments, representations, submissions or objections, we must publish the reason for the Commissioner’s decision on that application. Responses can also come from local government or the local member of parliament.

The available decisions will be listed below, including a summary of the reason for each decision and other basic information about the application.

These decisions will relate to both liquor licence and gaming machine licence applications. They will be published within 28 days of the date of the decision and remain online for 3 months.

Read the current decision information notices. At times, there may be no current decisions.
