How a licensing inspector can help
A licensing inspector can help with things like:
- what you need for your application
- the documents you need and how they should be presented
- how to calculate your application fee
- filling out forms correctly.
You can contact us for help or advice at any point in the process. If this is your first time applying for an alcohol licence, we recommend you meet with a licensing inspector before you start your application.
Fees
Your first pre-application meeting is free.
Starting 1 October 2025, any follow up meetings will cost $100 per hour.
