What is a community liquor permit or licence?

• There are special licences available that allow an unlicensed organisation to sell alcohol for a one-off event. These are called community liquor permits or licences.
• Often these permits are used for:
  • sporting events;
  • school fairs; or
  • a church fete.
• Examples of unlicensed organisation include:
  • parent and citizen associations;
  • theatre groups;
  • rotary clubs; or
  • not-for-profit organisations.
• These permits do not allow people to also bring their own (BYO) alcohol to the event. If people wish to buy and drink alcohol then they must do it in line with the rules set out in the permit.
