What type of licence is needed?
The type of activity or business you plan will determine the type of liquor
licence you will need.
Applying for a liquor license can be a complex task. We recommend that you
seek advice in correctly interpreting regulations and determining the type of
licence you require. Specialist advice is available by checking in the Yellow
Pages under Liquor Industry Consultants. You can also confirm the
licence type by checking the Sale
