Liquor Licences

I would like to start serving liquor at my business, what licences or permits do I need?

You will require a liquor licence issued by the Victorian Liquor Commission (VLC) before serving liquor.

As of 1 July 2025, a planning permit is no longer required to use land for the sale or consumption of liquor. 

I have an existing planning permit for liquor, what do I do if I want to make changes?

If you are making changes to your business, you should contact Council’s Business Concierge to confirm if changes to your liquor licence will require an amendment to your planning permit or result in other permissions being required.
