Get a licence for a new premises

Health protection licences are required for the following activities:

Before you apply for a licence, we recommend that you contact us first to discuss your plans.

Then download and complete the Health protection licence application (48k PDF) and send your registration form and fee to Auckland Council.

Fees are

• an administration fee for any new premises of $159 (inclusive GST);
• and an annual registration fee as follows:

Take over an existing premises

If you take over an existing premises, you must notify us and complete a registration form.

If there is an existing licence then you can apply to transfer this licence into your name. Transfer fee applications cost $80 (inclusive GST). Applications must be received within 14 days of you taking over the business. After this period, the licence lapses and can not be transferred.

If there is no current licence then a new licence needs to be applied for.
 

Renew your licence

Licences expire on 31 July each year, you will receive a renewal application from us before this.

When you receive it, you must apply for renewal within 14 days of the expiry date by:

• returning the renewal notice and payment to Auckland Council. Cheques should be made out to Auckland City Council
• visiting any Auckland Council service centre
• renewing online if you have received an invoice. An invoice will be sent to you if you return your registration form without payment attached.

The renewal fee is the same as the annual registration fee.

If we have not received your application within 14 days, the licence will lapse and you will need to apply for a new licence. The new licence application fee of $159 will be applicable.
 

Refunds

We do not offer a refund on surrendered licences (ie if the business closes down).
