Liquor Licensing Victoria issues all Liquor Licences. However, in some circumstances a Planning Permit may need to be issued by Council prior to the issue of the Liquor Licence.
Clause 52.27 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme states that a Planning Permit is required to use land to sell or consume liquor if any of the following apply:
- A Licence is required under the Liquor Control Reform Act, 1998
- A different type of Licence, or class of Licence is required from that which is currently in force
- The hours of trading allowed under any Licence are to be extended.
In the event a Planning Permit is issued, you will need to apply to Liquor Licensing Victoria for a Liquor Licence.
