Your Application for a Liquor Licence

Important Issues Relating to your Liquor Licence Application

In considering your application for a liquor licence, the DLA will obtain reports from the Licensing Inspector and the New Zealand Police, and may obtain reports from a medical officer of health.

Your suitability as an applicant will also be a factor and the Council will require an interview with you. Please note that other factors like hours of operation and areas of designation will be taken into consideration before a licence will be approved.

The time it takes to process liquor licence applications is heavily dependent upon the receipt of external reports from the police or medical officer of health.
