To issue a Temporary Authority a current base licence must be already in existence.
The Temporary Authority allows a new licensee to operate an existing licensed premises and to trade, for a period up to three months, under the licence conditions and terms. This gives the new licensee time to lodge a new application to be considered by the DLA.
A second Temporary Authority will not be issued unless a full (substantive) licence application has been lodged with the DLA.
You will need to include the following with your application:
- The fee for an Temporary Authority is $134.94.
- The processing timeframe is 10 working days provided all the required information is included with the application.
- Please provide three copies of the application (one original and two photocopies) - complete, signed and dated.
- A document showing ‘proof of tenure’ or ‘purchase agreement’.
- A copy of the applicants General Manager’s Certificate or a copy of a General Manager’s certificate of any person who is employed by the applicant.
