Apply for a new alcohol licence
Find out about the process for applying for a new alcohol licence: on-licence, off-licence or club licence.
How to apply
Before you start your application, read through the application form and prepare your supporting documents.
We also recommend you:
-
Start the process of registering to sell food
-
Decide who your duty managers will be
-
Discuss any plans with your neighbours and the community to avoid objections later in the process
-
Check in with our duty planner on whether you need a resource consent
-
Make sure you have a certificate of public use or code of compliance if your business is in a new building - we can't issue a license without it
Application forms
Note: These forms are editable PDFs, which means they can be completed electronically using a PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe, Foxit) or web browser (e.g. Chrome, MS Edge).
The application process - what to expect
-
Submit your completed application to the District Licensing Committee (at Council). Use the check sheet to make sure you have included everything you need.
-
The alcohol licensing inspector assigned to the application will publish public notice of the application online (here) and advise you once this has been done.
-
Display a copy of the public notice in a clearly visible place on or near the site the application refers to.
-
The District Licensing Committee (DLC) Secretary will forward a copy of your application to the Police, Medical Officer of Health and an alcohol inspector, who are required under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act to consider the application.
-
If the Police or Medical Officer of Health has any matters in opposition to the application, they must file a report on it within 15 working days. Copies of their reports will be sent to you.
-
The alcohol inspector will compose a report on the application for the DLC, assessing it against the criteria for issue.
-
Anyone may object to your application within 25 working days of the publication of the public notice. If any objections are received, these will be forwarded to you.
-
The DLC will determine the application. This will likely be done 'on the papers' if no public objections or matters in opposition have been raised, or via a public hearing if they have.
