17 Years and Still Going Strong

We are pleased to be the longest running company in this specialised field of business in Queensland.

As Queensland’s first specialised liquor licensing consulting firm, we continue to service the ever increasing liquor and hospitality industries. Over the years we have assisted in excess of 3,000 new and existing licensees across Queensland, and the list reads a “who’s who” of the liquor and hospitality industries.

We thank our many valued clients for your continued support. We have been fortunate to have developed some great on – going relationships with many clients and we are keen to take on new clients and assist them in obtaining liquor and gaming licences or answering queries.

Attention all Licensees!

Please remember that you cannot alter, increase, change or rebuild a licensed area, without first obtaining the written approval of the Chief Executive.

New Legislation

Since 1 January 2009 liquor reforms have been in place to try and transform Queensland’s drinking culture. These reforms included a change to licence types and fees, introduction of annual liquor licence fees and changes to training requirements.

Liquor Licensing Consultants have been actively working with many of our clients to ensure the new requirements are met. This experience has proved invaluable to some of our previous clients who we were able to notify of the new annual fee and avoid their licences being suspended.

Approved Managers

As part of the new legislation the role Approved Manager  has replaced the role of the Nominee of a premises. The Approved Manager has the same duties as a Nominee, however the Approved Manager is a position that is transferable across premises. This allows Approved Managers to be involved in more than one premises, though not simultaneously for more than one premise at any one time.

The requirements of being an Approved Manager are:

• must be an individual.
• can not be a Licensee.
• must have current training course certificates (RSA and RMLV)
• must be present or reasonably available during trading hours
• must sign on and off on the Approved Manager Register.

Risk Assessed Management Plan (RAMP)

This document has been introduced from 1 January 2009 and is for the purpose of assessing the risks associated with the general operation of a venue. In a sense, it has replaced the existing House Policy document.

There is no requirement for existing licensed premises to develop a RAMP to replace their House Policy. However, if any changes to an existing licence occur or any application for a new licence, then a RAMP must accompany the application documents.
