The department is responsible for determining applications and other matters relating to liquor licensing under the auspices of the Director of Liquor Licensing who performs statutory functions and exercises statutory powers as prescribed by the Act.
Certain applications received under the Liquor Control Act 1988 are required to be advertised for a specified period, allowing for the public to obtain more details about the application or the objection process.
Applications that are listed are currently within their advertising period.
There are no currently advertised applications.
Pursuant to section 73 of the Act, a person may lodge an objection to an advertised application by the date as specified on the advertisement. The objection must be lodged on the approved form. A person lodging an objection becomes a party to proceedings and a copy of the objection will be provided to the applicant. The burden of establishing the validity of any objection lies on the objector.
