Application Details

Please enter the details regarding the application below.

Exemptions to the Liquor Control Act 1988

The Act regulates the sale, supply and consumption of liquor. However, there are a number of situations where the sale, supply and consumption of liquor is specifically exempted from the application of the Act. Such situations involve small amounts of liquor supplied in controlled environments and social situations where relatively few people are in attendance.

The ‘small functions’ exemption:

Less than 100 people - no longer than two hours; or
Less than 75 people - no longer than four hours; and
Event finishes BEFORE 10:00 PM

If your event does not meet the above requirements of "small functions" you will be required to apply for an Occasional Liquor License.
