Wine Industry Act 1994

A licensee may apply to the chief executive for a permit.

The chief executive may grant a permit only if the chief executive—

is satisfied the purpose of the permit is to promote a particular winery or region; and

reasonably considers it is more important for wine to be sold under a permit instead of a licence because the purpose of the permit is to sell the licensee’s wine—

at a single event; or

at more than 1 event if the events are of the same type and held at the same place.

A permit authorises the licensee stated in the permit—

to sell the licensee’s wine in sealed containers, at the permit place stated in the permit, for consumption away from the permit place; and

to sell or give the licensee’s wine as a sample for consumption at the permit place.

The permit is subject to the conditions stated in the permit.

A group of licensees may also apply for a permit other than a permit mentioned in subsection (2)(b)(ii).

If a group of licensees applies for a permit—

each licensee whose wine is to be sold at the proposed permit place must agree to the permit; and

1 licensee must be nominated as the holder of the permit.

The agreement of a licensee under subsection (6)(a) is taken to be an appointment of each of the other licensees applying for the permit as nominees for the licensee.

A permit granted to a group of licensees authorises the licensees stated in the permit—

to sell the licensees’ wine in sealed containers, at the permit place stated in the permit, for consumption away from the permit place; and

to sell or give the licensees’ wine as a sample for consumption at the permit place.
