Alcohol licensing fees and charges
Here are the fees we charge for alcohol licensing, including licence applications and renewals, and manager's certificates.
These fees aren't set by us. They're part of the government’s Sale and Supply of Alcohol Regulations (2013). This means everyone pays the same price regardless of where in the country you are.
All fees include GST. Effective 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
