Licence types and trading hours

Information on the types of licences and their trading hours.

This information is provided as a guide for users to determine to understand what licence types are available and which might be most relevant for a specific business plan.

The Liquor Control Act 1988 provides for 11 different types of liquor licence in Western Australia. Each licence category varies in permitted trading hours and the manner in which liquor can be sold and supplied to the community. Licences can also contain further conditions than those detailed below.

Licence types:

Casino liquor licence

A casino liquor licence authorises the sale of liquor for consumption at a casino or any other venue enclosed in the casino complex.

The permitted licensed area must be approved by the Gaming and Wagering Commission of Western Australia.

The conditions of a casino liquor licence may mean particular areas of the complex trade similar to other licence types such as a nightclub or hotel.

In Western Australia, Crown Casino is currently the only licensed premises operating under a casino liquor licence.

Trading hours

The permitted trading hours for a casino licence are determined by the Director of Liquor Licensing in conjunction with the Gaming and Wagering Commission.

Club and club restricted

Club

A club consists of a body or group of persons who join together to further some sporting, social, political, literary or other legitimate aim.

A club licence under section 48 of the Act, authorises the sale and supply of liquor to members of the club. In essence, the supply of liquor is secondary to the primary objects of the club.

There are two types of club licences under section 48 of the Act. Each licence authorises the sale and supply of liquor to members of the club, their bona fide invited guests and visitors.

Club restricted

A club restricted licence is a club licence that has the following restrictions:

  • It may not sell packaged liquor; and
  • The trading hours are specified in the conditions of the licence.

Conditions

Both a club and club restricted licence are subject to the following conditions:

  • An up to date register of members must be available for inspection at the club premises.
  • The club must ensure that its rules are not contravened.

In respect to the sale and supply of liquor, liquor may only be sold and supplied to:

  • A member of the licensee club and to the guests of that member in the company of that member, for consumption of the licensed premises. A member cannot be accompanied by more than five guests (or other number imposed on the licence) at any one time.
  • A member holding a private function at the club with an unlimited number of guests, if the sale of liquor is at the expense of the member (i.e. guests cannot purchase their own drinks). This is only authorised if the club constitution provides for it.
  • A member and the guests of that member (without limitation to number) can be served liquor ancillary to a meal supplied by the licensee club (in accordance with the constitution).
  • A visitor. A visitor is a person, other than a member, who is at least 40km from their usual place of residence, is visiting the club whilst travelling in the course of a holiday, leisure or business and is required to pay a fee to the club. This is only authorised if the club constitution provides for it.

Trading hours

The trading hours for each club restricted licence is determined individually by the Director of Liquor Licensing.

This policy is designed to provide information in regard to the subject matter covered, and with the understanding that the Director of Liquor Licensing is not passing legal opinion or interpretation or other professional advice. The information is provided on the understanding that all persons undertake responsibility for assessing the relevance and accuracy of its contents.

Introduction

This policy provides guidance as to the legislative and operational requirements associated with the sale, supply and consumption of liquor on commercial charter boats. It also provides guidance as to best practice principles that should be taken into consideration when liquor is supplied or consumed on a charter boat.

Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. For further information visitwww.amsa.gov.au

Licensed premises

  • agree or attempt to sell; or
  • offer or expose for the purpose of selling; or
  • send, forward or deliver for sale or on sale; or
  • barter or exchange; or
  • supply, or offer, agree or attempt to supply:
    • 在情况下,供应商获得,或would be likely to derive, a direct or indirect pecuniary benefit; or
    • gratuitously, but with a view to gaining or maintaining custom or other commercial advantage; or
  • dispose, by lot or chance or by auction; or
  • authorise, direct, cause or permit to be done any act referred to in this definition.

There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

  • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
  • A wine tasting cruise.
  • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
  • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

Regulated premises

Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

Licence conditions

A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

  1. Licensed Security Requirements
    Crowd controllers, licensed under the Securities and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996 must be on duty. The number of crowd controllers required will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
  2. Restricted Swimming Practices
    Accredited lifeguards are to be provided with a clear view of the swimming area for the duration of the event. The number of lifeguards required will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
  3. Responsible Service of Alcohol
    All staff involved in the sale and supply of liquor must have successfully completed the nationally accredited course in the responsible service of alcohol.
  4. No Self-Service of Alcohol
    All liquor must be served by staff.
  5. Food
    A range of food is to be available for the duration of the event.
  6. Entertainment Condition
    A standard entertainment condition prohibiting lewd or indecent behaviour and activities may be imposed on the licence. Further information on this condition is available in the Director’s Policy titledEntertainment Condition.
  7. Manager
    The holder of an unrestricted/restricted manager approval must be present on each vessel under the licence, for the duration of the event.
  8. Staff
    All lifeguards, security, approved managers and staff of the licensee are prohibited from consuming liquor for the duration of the event.
  9. Head Counts
    The manager must ensure that a head count is conducted after all guests/patrons embark the vessel/s, prior to departing from any anchored location and after disembarking the vessel/s to ensure all persons are accounted for.
  10. BYO Liquor
    Any person attempting to enter the event with liquor in their possession must dispose of it at entry.
  11. Liquor to Remain in Licensed Area
    The removal of unsealed liquor from the licensed area is prohibited.
  12. Unsealed Containers Only
    Liquor sold and supplied at the event must only be supplied in unsealed containers.
  13. Packaged Liquor Prohibited
    The sale and supply of packaged liquor for consumption off the licensed premises is prohibited.
  14. Drinks
    This condition will prohibit the sale of spirits in jugs and in measures exceeding 50ml per drink. Pre-mixed drinks cannot be supplied in containers larger than 375ml. Low and mid-strength beer as well as non-alcoholic drinks must be available for the duration of the event.
  15. Responsible Drink Practices
    The licensee is prohibited from selling and supplying beverages in such a way that would encourage rapid consumption of liquor, e.g. shots, laybacks, test tubes, shooters, jelly shots, blasters, bombs etc.
  16. Free Drinking Water
    Potable drinking water must be supplied free of charge, at all times that liquor is sold or supplied. Further information is available in the Director’s Policy titledFree Drinking Water.
  17. Incident Register
    The licensee must maintain a register of incidents that take place. Further information is available in the Director’s Policy titledIncident Register at Licensed Premises.
  18. Numbers Limitation
    The number of people permitted entry to the licensed area will be specified on a case-by-case basis and cannot exceed the maximum number of passengers the vessel is licensed to carry.
  19. Restricted Entry
    Entry is restricted to bona fide invited guests/ticket holders to the event or function.
  20. Juveniles
    Juveniles are prohibited from entering the licensed areas, other than juvenile employees who are involved in anything other than the sale and supply of liquor.
  21. Water Police
    The Water Police must be notified of the boat name, event type, numbers on board, time of event, location of anchorage points, embarking and disembarking locations.

In addition to the above conditions, licence applications for events involving raft-ups will be required to include a management plan on how the event will be managed.

Best practice principles

While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

  1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
  2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.
  3. Swimming is only permitted during daylight hours.
  4. Compliance with the Department of Transport (Marine Safety) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority standards and guidelines must be maintained at all times.

Even if a liquor licence is not required, charter boat operators should consider implementing the above best-practice principles if liquor is to be consumed on their vessels.

              • authorise, direct, cause or permit to be done any act referred to in this definition.

              There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

              • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
              • A wine tasting cruise.
              • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
              • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

              In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

              Regulated premises

              Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

              For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

              Licence conditions

              A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

              将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

                    Introduction

                    This policy provides guidance as to the legislative and operational requirements associated with the sale, supply and consumption of liquor on commercial charter boats. It also provides guidance as to best practice principles that should be taken into consideration when liquor is supplied or consumed on a charter boat.

                    Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

                    Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

                    Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

                    Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. For further information visitwww.amsa.gov.au

                    1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
                    2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.

                          Occasional

                          An occasional licence under section 59 of the Act is granted for an event that can not be covered under another type of licence. An occasional licence allows an individual, a group of people, a company or an incorporated association the ability to supply and sell liquor to people attending an event.

                          Trading hours

                          There are no specific trading hours set out under the Act for occasional licences. However, when assessing an application the start and finish times, as well as the duration of the period in which liquor will be consumed are considered to ensure harm minimisation principles are adhered to.

                          There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

                          • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
                          • A wine tasting cruise.
                          • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
                          • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

                          In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

                          Regulated premises

                          Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

                          For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

                          Licence conditions

                          A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

                          将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

                          1. Licensed Security Requirements

                          Best practice principles

                          While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

                          1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
                          2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.
                          3. Swimming is only permitted during daylight hours.
                          4. Compliance with the Department of Transport (Marine Safety) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority standards and guidelines must be maintained at all times.

                          Even if a liquor licence is not required, charter boat operators should consider implementing the above best-practice principles if liquor is to be consumed on their vessels.

                                Producer

                                A producer’s licence under section 55 of the Act primarily authorises the licensee to sell liquor that has actually been produced by, or under the control or direction of, that person. However, the licensee is also authorised to sell or supply liquor, other than liquor produced by the licensee if the liquor is consumed ancillary to a meal in a dining area on the licensed premises or for the purpose of tastings.

                                Requirements to be met

                                酒is deemed to be produced by the licensee if it was fermented from produce grown on the property of the licensed premises or the fermentation process occurred at the licensed premises. Spirits distilled from wine must either be distilled on the licensed premises or distilled under the control or direction of the licensee.

                                Beer and other spirits must be brewed/distilled on the licensed premises to be deemed liquor produced by the licensee.

                                A wholesaler must maintain a record of all transactions entered into by or on behalf of the licensee involving the sale or purchase of liquor. A return of all liquor transactions made during the previous financial year is due by 31 July each year.

                                Consumption on the premises

                                Generally, a producer’s licence is authorised to sell and supply take-away liquor for consumption off the licensed premises.

                                A producer's licence can also include an area on the licensed premises for the conduct of tastings or consumption subject to appropriate facilities such as toilets being available and local health and planning approvals having been issued.

                                Liquor not produced by the licensee can only be sold if it is ancillary to a meal or for the purposes of tastings.

                                What is considered to be a 'genuine producer' under the Act

                                The licensing authority must be satisfied that there is a sufficient yield from the vineyard/orchard or apiary to enable the applicant to be regarded as a genuine producer of liquor (tonnage sufficient to produce 5000 bottles of liquor).

                                Beer

                                Beer producers must possess commercial grade and scale of production facilities which involve the processing and fermentation of grain and encompasses the entire brewing process.

                                Spirits

                                Spirit producers must possess commercial grade and scale of production facilities in order to distil base products to produce spirits.

                                Telephone and internet sales

                                A licensee of a producer’s licence is also authorised to sell liquor produced by the licensee from any place if the sale of liquor is made by way of a telephone or the internet and the liquor sold in that manner is delivered to the purchaser, or to premises specified by the purchaser, from the licensed premises or an approved off-site storage location.

                                Conditions relating to blending and cleanskins

                                The holder of a producer’s licence cannot lawfully purchase wine that has been produced by another person and then label or re-label that wine for subsequent sale, as the wine would not constitute liquor that has been genuinely produced by that person.

                                Where a licensed producer authorised to sell wine, purchases wine for the purposes of blending, at least 50% of the blended wine must come from wine produced by the licensee, so that the final product is unique to that person’s own produce.

                                Similarly, if the holder of a producer’s licence buys wine already bottled (for example cleanskins) and then allows it to mature in the bottle, this is not considered to be production of wine, and the person cannot sell that wine under a producer’s licence.

                                Tastings on other licensed premises

                                Section 59A of the Act authorises a producer’s licence to supply free samples on the licensed premises of another licensee, with the agreement of the other licensee and sell packaged liquor (by way of order) on the licensed premises of the other licensee, provided the liquor is delivered to the purchaser from the licensed premises of the licensee or interstate supplier.

                                The sample amounts that can be offered by licensees when conducting tastings are:

                                • 酒50 ml
                                • Beer 100 ml
                                • Spirits 15 ml

                                Unconsumed wine

                                如果葡萄酒卖消费在许可的公关emises with a meal, provided by the licensee, a person may remove any unconsumed portion of that wine from the licensed premises when they leave (s 110(6A)).

                                Trading hours

                                Generally, a licensee is authorised by a producer’s licence to trade at any time. However, with respect to ANZAC Day, Christmas Day, Good Friday and beer sold for consumption on the licensed premises the following trading hours apply:

                                • 澳纽军团日,交易可以发生在中午12点之间d 12 midnight.

                                • On Christmas Day and Good Friday, trading can occur between 12 noon and 10 pm ancillary to a meal supplied by the licensee (where consumption other than tastings has been authorised).

                                • The sale of beer and spirits for consumption on the licensed premises, where authorised, between 10 am and 10 pm (Christmas Day, ANZAC Day and Good Friday hours above also apply.)

                                This policy is designed to provide information in regard to the subject matter covered, and with the understanding that the Director of Liquor Licensing is not passing legal opinion or interpretation or other professional advice. The information is provided on the understanding that all persons undertake responsibility for assessing the relevance and accuracy of its contents.

                                Introduction

                                This policy provides guidance as to the legislative and operational requirements associated with the sale, supply and consumption of liquor on commercial charter boats. It also provides guidance as to best practice principles that should be taken into consideration when liquor is supplied or consumed on a charter boat.

                                Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

                                Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

                                Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

                                Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

                                Licensed premises

                                • agree or attempt to sell; or
                                • offer or expose for the purpose of selling; or

                                • barter or exchange; or

                                  • 在情况下,供应商获得,或would be likely to derive, a direct or indirect pecuniary benefit; or
                                  • gratuitously, but with a view to gaining or maintaining custom or other commercial advantage; or
                                • dispose, by lot or chance or by auction; or
                                • authorise, direct, cause or permit to be done any act referred to in this definition.

                                There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

                                • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
                                • A wine tasting cruise.
                                • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
                                • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

                                In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

                                Regulated premises

                                Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

                                For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

                                Licence conditions

                                A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

                                Best practice principles

                                While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

                                1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
                                2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.
                                3. Swimming is only permitted during daylight hours.
                                4. Compliance with the Department of Transport (Marine Safety) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority standards and guidelines must be maintained at all times.

                                Even if a liquor licence is not required, charter boat operators should consider implementing the above best-practice principles if liquor is to be consumed on their vessels.

                                      Restaurant

                                      A restaurant licence under section 50 of the Act, authorises the sale and supply of liquor to persons on the licensed premises for consumption with a meal supplied by the licensee.

                                      In essence, the business should be focused on the regular supply of genuine meals. The supply of liquor should be secondary to this.

                                      The premises must have a kitchen for preparing food. It must also have sufficient toilet facilities for patrons and staff. In addition, the dining area must always be set up with tables and chairs for dining.

                                      The licensing authority may impose certain conditions on the grant of a restaurant licence to ensure the nature of the business conducted under the licence conforms with representations made to the licensing authority when applying for the grant of the licence or other proceedings under the Act.

                                      Licensees need to be careful when advertising the business to ensure that liquor is not used as an attraction to the premises.

A person may also remove any unconsumed portion of that liquor from the licensed premises when they leave, regardless of whether they purchased the liquor on the premises or brought the liquor with them (s 110).

                                      This policy is designed to provide information in regard to the subject matter covered, and with the understanding that the Director of Liquor Licensing is not passing legal opinion or interpretation or other professional advice. The information is provided on the understanding that all persons undertake responsibility for assessing the relevance and accuracy of its contents.

                                      Introduction

                                      This policy provides guidance as to the legislative and operational requirements associated with the sale, supply and consumption of liquor on commercial charter boats. It also provides guidance as to best practice principles that should be taken into consideration when liquor is supplied or consumed on a charter boat.

                                      Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

                                      Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

                                      Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

                                      Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

                                      Licensed premises

                                      • agree or attempt to sell; or
                                      • offer or expose for the purpose of selling; or
                                      • send, forward or deliver for sale or on sale; or
                                      • barter or exchange; or
                                      • supply, or offer, agree or attempt to supply:
                                        • 在情况下,供应商获得,或would be likely to derive, a direct or indirect pecuniary benefit; or
                                        • gratuitously, but with a view to gaining or maintaining custom or other commercial advantage; or
                                      • dispose, by lot or chance or by auction; or
                                      • authorise, direct, cause or permit to be done any act referred to in this definition.

                                      There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

                                      • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
                                      • A wine tasting cruise.
                                      • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
                                      • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

                                      In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

                                      Regulated premises

                                      Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

                                      For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

                                      Licence conditions

                                      A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

                                      将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

                                      Best practice principles

                                      While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

                                      1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
                                      2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.
                                      3. Swimming is only permitted during daylight hours.
                                      4. Compliance with the Department of Transport (Marine Safety) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority standards and guidelines must be maintained at all times.

                                      Even if a liquor licence is not required, charter boat operators should consider implementing the above best-practice principles if liquor is to be consumed on their vessels.

                                            This policy is designed to provide information in regard to the subject matter covered, and with the understanding that the Director of Liquor Licensing is not passing legal opinion or interpretation or other professional advice. The information is provided on the understanding that all persons undertake responsibility for assessing the relevance and accuracy of its contents.

                                            Introduction

                                            This policy provides guidance as to the legislative and operational requirements associated with the sale, supply and consumption of liquor on commercial charter boats. It also provides guidance as to best practice principles that should be taken into consideration when liquor is supplied or consumed on a charter boat.

                                            Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

                                            Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

                                            Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

                                            Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

                                            Licensed premises

                                            • agree or attempt to sell; or
                                            • offer or expose for the purpose of selling; or
                                            • send, forward or deliver for sale or on sale; or
                                            • barter or exchange; or
                                            • supply, or offer, agree or attempt to supply:
                                              • 在情况下,供应商获得,或would be likely to derive, a direct or indirect pecuniary benefit; or
                                              • gratuitously, but with a view to gaining or maintaining custom or other commercial advantage; or

                                            • authorise, direct, cause or permit to be done any act referred to in this definition.

                                            There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

                                            • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
                                            • A wine tasting cruise.
                                            • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
                                            • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

                                            In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

                                            Regulated premises

                                            Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

                                            For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

                                            Licence conditions

                                            A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

                                            将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

                                            1. Licensed Security Requirements

                                            Best practice principles

                                            While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

                                                  Special facility

                                                  A special facility licence under section 46 of the Act authorises the holder of the licence to sell liquor in accordance with the conditions imposed on the licence based on the tenor of the business.

                                                  The Act provides that the licensing authority shall not grant a special facility licence except for a prescribed purpose. The Act further provides that a special facility licence should not be granted or varied if granting or varying a licence of another class, or imposing, varying or cancelling a condition on a licence of another class, or issuing an extended trading permit in respect of another class of licence, would achieve the purposes for which the special facility licence is sought.

                                                  The licensing authority may substitute an alternative type of licence where an applicant seeks the grant of a special facility licence, but in the view of the licensing authority a licence of another class would be adequate for the purpose. Furthermore, an existing special facility licence cannot be varied to such an extent that a licence of another class, with or without permits, would achieve the purpose.

                                                  The 15 different special facility sub-classifications are:

                                                  Introduction

                                                  This policy provides guidance as to the legislative and operational requirements associated with the sale, supply and consumption of liquor on commercial charter boats. It also provides guidance as to best practice principles that should be taken into consideration when liquor is supplied or consumed on a charter boat.

                                                  Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

                                                  Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

                                                  Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

                                                  Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

                                                  There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

                                                  • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
                                                  • A wine tasting cruise.
                                                  • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
                                                  • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

                                                  In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

                                                  Regulated premises

                                                  Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

                                                  For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

                                                  Licence conditions

                                                  A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

                                                  将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

                                                  1. Licensed Security Requirements

                                                  Best practice principles

                                                  While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

                                                  1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
                                                  2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.
                                                  3. Swimming is only permitted during daylight hours.
                                                  4. Compliance with the Department of Transport (Marine Safety) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority standards and guidelines must be maintained at all times.

                                                  Even if a liquor licence is not required, charter boat operators should consider implementing the above best-practice principles if liquor is to be consumed on their vessels.

                                                        Wholesaler

                                                        A wholesaler’s licence under section 58 of the Act authorises the licensee to sell liquor for consumption off the licensed premises in any amount to liquor merchants.

                                                        A licensee of a wholesaler’s licence may sell liquor for consumption off the licensed premises to members of the general public as well, but it must be supplied in aggregate quantities of not less than 4 litres at a time and the wholesaler needs to maintain at least 90% of the gross turnover from sales of liquor to liquor merchants or persons otherwise authorised to sell liquor.

                                                        Requirements

                                                        A wholesaler must maintain a record of all transactions entered into by or on behalf of the licensee involving the sale or purchase of liquor. A return of all liquor transactions made during the previous financial year is due by 31 July each year.

                                                        Provision of tastings

                                                        Generally, a wholesaler’s licence is authorised to sell and supply liquor for consumption off the licensed premises. The licensee can also seek to include an area on the licensed premises for the conduct of free tastings subject to appropriate facilities such as toilets and local health and planning approvals.

                                                        Section 59A of the Act authorises a wholesaler’s licence to supply free samples on the licensed premises of another licensee, with the agreement of the other licensee and sell packaged liquor (by way of order) on the licensed premises of the other licensee, provided the liquor is delivered to the purchaser from the licensed premises of the licensee or interstate supplier.

                                                        Storage and distribution of liquor

                                                        Licensees who wish to licence premises that are located in a residential area may be restricted from receiving customers onto their premises, and also from storing liquor on those premises. Approval may be given by the licensing authority to a licensee to store liquor at or supply and deliver liquor from, a premise other than the licensed premises.

                                                        Legislative provisions — when does the Act apply?

                                                        Where the sale and supply of liquor takes place on a boat, the nature and purpose of the charter and the reason for which people are resorting to the vessel will determine whether or not a liquor licence is required.

                                                        Even if a licence is not required, the vessel may be deemed a ‘regulated premises’ and offence provisions under the Act apply to the supply, consumption and possession of liquor in regard to juveniles and drunk persons on the charter boat.

                                                        Whether the vessel requires a liquor licence or is simply deemed a regulated premises, all commercial vessels must adhere to the safety and certification requirements as directed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

                                                          • gratuitously, but with a view to gaining or maintaining custom or other commercial advantage; or

                                                        • authorise, direct, cause or permit to be done any act referred to in this definition.

                                                        There are many examples of businesses, functions and events that will require a liquor licence. Some of these include:

                                                        • A business owner takes clients on a charter boat tour and supplies the clients with liquor whilst on the vessel.
                                                        • A wine tasting cruise.
                                                        • A wedding where the guests will be able to purchase liquor at the bar.
                                                        • A ‘raft-up’ style event, where members of the public purchase tickets to attend the event and are sold/supplied liquor at the event. A raft-up involves the roping together of a number of small vessels to form a raft-like structure.

                                                        In the case of a raft-up event, all vessels involved in the event will require a licence if the consumption of liquor takes place between the vessel departure point and the destination. If consumption of liquor will only occur at a designated point, once passengers reach that destination, one licence to cover all of the vessels involved in the event will be sufficient.

                                                        Regulated premises

                                                        Where a charter boat is hired, and guests are permitted to bring their own liquor on to the boat, charter boat operators and customers must be aware that the boat is still considered a ‘regulated premises’ under the Act if food, light refreshments or non-intoxicating drinks are ordinarily served to members of the public on the boat.

                                                        For the purposes of sections 115 and 122 of the Act, any person who permits the sale, supply or consumption of liquor on a regulated premises to a juvenile or a person who is drunk, commits an offence. A penalty of up to a $10,000 fine applies to this offence.

                                                        Licence conditions

                                                        A charter boat will require a permanent licence if liquor is to be sold/supplied to customers on an ongoing basis. In the case of one-off events, an occasional licence will be required for the event.

                                                        将对偶尔的条件licences will depend on the nature of the charter boat and the event. For example, an occasional licence for a small private function may have less conditions imposed than a raft-up event, which attracts a higher level of risk. The following standard conditions will generally be imposed depending on the nature of the charter boat/event:

                                                        Best practice principles

                                                        While the following may also be imposed as conditions of the licence, they should be considered best practice for any event involving the consumption of liquor on a charter boat:

                                                        1. A tender boat should be present and available at all times during the event (in case of an emergency or for patron removal).
                                                        2. A designated swimming area should be made available, that is roped off and not positioned in-between boats.
                                                        3. Swimming is only permitted during daylight hours.
                                                        4. Compliance with the Department of Transport (Marine Safety) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority standards and guidelines must be maintained at all times.

                                                        Even if a liquor licence is not required, charter boat operators should consider implementing the above best-practice principles if liquor is to be consumed on their vessels.
