Liquor Control Act 1988

In this section —

A cellar door permit must not be issued in relation to a producer’s licence unless —

the Director has approved the premises in respect of which the permit is sought as being fit for the purpose of the sale of liquor; and

if the permit is sought for the purposes of the sale of wine, the premises are located in the wine producing region to which the licence relates; and

if the permit is sought for the purposes of the sale of liquor other than wine, the premises are located in the district where the liquor is produced; and

the Director is satisfied that the purpose for which the permit is sought could not be more appropriately achieved by the grant of a different kind of licence; and

the applicant will, at times when the sale of liquor under the permit is authorised, be entitled to use the premises for that purpose; and

the applicant satisfies the Director that the local government of the district within which the premises are situated has been consulted and has approved the application.

A cellar door permit may only be issued to a licensee for the purposes of the sale of wine if the licensee does not already hold a cellar door permit for the purposes of the sale of wine in the wine producing region for which the permit is sought.

A cellar door permit may only be issued to a licensee for the purposes of the sale of liquor other than wine if the licensee does not already hold a cellar door permit for the purposes of the sale of liquor in the district for which the permit is sought.

A cellar door permit may be issued in respect of the same premises to 2 or more licensees of a producer’s licence only if there is in force an agreement between the licensees about the management of the premises.

If a cellar door permit is issued in respect of the same premises to 2 or more licensees, those licensees are jointly and severally liable —

as licensee; and

in respect of any civil or criminal liability that attaches to the licensee under this Act.

The regulations may prescribe conditions that are taken to be attached to a cellar door permit unless otherwise specified in the permit.
