Tell us what you think about options to align liquor licensing and planning approvals and options for a risk-based licensing model.
The liquor licensing system can at times be complex for businesses and the community to navigate. The NSW Government wants to modernise the liquor licensing system and make it easier for licensed businesses in NSW to start, grow and diversify, while managing the risk of alcohol-related harm and making it easier for the community to have their say.
Part A: Options to streamline the approval processes for licensing and planning applications. We want to achieve:
quicker, easier application processes;
enhanced, more accessible public consultation;
reduced overlap of conditions and Plans of Management.
Part B: Options for a new risk-based liquor licence model. We want to achieve:
more flexible ongoing licence options, fewer licences and classes, with more opportunities for diversity in licensed premises;
simpler conditions and expanded trading opportunities that support a vibrant, safe 24-hour economy;
customer-centric, risk-based licensing and regulation enabled by digital solutions;
improved temporary licensing options to support more one-off events, pop-up bars and producer's promotions.
