Changing your licensed area

As a liquor licensee, you can apply to change your licensed area if your business needs change. For example, you might want to renovate your licensed premises or remove a detached bottle shop.

Renovating your premises

If you're planning to alter your premises without changing the licensed area description (e.g. remove a wall or lengthen a bar), submit an application to alter, rebuild or change the premises.

Permanently resize your premises

If you plan to permanently increase or decrease the licensed area, and/or alter or rebuild it in a way that will affect its description (e.g. remove a detached bottle shop or add a footpath dining area), submit an application to permanently change the licensed area.

Temporarily resize your premises

You can also apply to temporarily resize your licensed area—e.g. extend it to allow extra patrons to attend a one-off event, such as New Year's Eve or a community festival.

Any licensed area you want to extend must be adjoining your existing licensed premises.
