Food Act 2006

A licensee may apply to the local government that issued a licence for an amendment of the licence.

The application must—

be accompanied by the licence; and

comply with section 85.

The local government must consider the application and decide to amend, or refuse to amend, the licence.

Without limiting subsection (1), the local government may amend a licence by changing the location of the premises from which the licensee proposes to carry on a licensable food business.

If the amendment relates to the premises covered by the licence, the local government may amend the licence only if satisfied on reasonable grounds that the premises are suitable for carrying on a licensable food business.

If the local government decides to refuse to amend the licence, the local government must as soon as practicable give the licensee—

the licence; and

an information notice for the decision.

If the local government decides to impose conditions on the licence, the local government must as soon as practicable give the licensee an information notice for the decision.

A licence may be amended by—

endorsing the existing licence with details of the amendment; or

cancelling the existing licence and issuing another licence containing the amendment.
