Liquor Control Reform Act 1998

An application to the Commission for the variation of a licence or BYO permit may be made by—

the licensee or permittee; or

the Chief Commissioner or a licensing inspector; or

the persons referred to in section 32(1)(a) or (b) in connection with an application for the transfer of the licence or permit.

A variation of a licence or BYO permit may include—

a variation of the category of licence held by the licensee;

a variation of the times outside ordinary trading hours at which the licence or permit authorises the supply of liquor;

a variation of the size or perimeter of the licensed premises;

a variation of a condition of the licence or permit (other than a condition imposed by this Act);

the imposition of a new condition on the licence or permit;

the removal of a condition of the licence or permit (other than a condition imposed by this Act).

An application under subsection (1) must—

be in a form approved by the Commission; and

include the prescribed particulars; and

be accompanied by—

the prescribed information (if any); and

a plan or depiction of the licensed premises in a form specified by the Commission; and

(except in the case of an application by the Chief Commissioner or a licensing inspector or an application for a prescribed variation of a licence or BYO permit referred to in section 33, 34 or 35) the prescribed variation fee.

In addition to the requirements under subsection (3), if the variation would result in the licence applying to a large packaged liquor outlet, an application under subsection (1) must include a community impact assessment.

If the Commission requests an applicant for a variation of a licence or BYO permit to give any other information, the applicant must comply with the request.
