You'll need to attend an interview with one of our alcohol licensing inspectors. This is to assess that you remain suitable to control a licensed premises. The inspector will ask what steps you've taken to manage the supply and sale of alcohol where you work, and reduce alcohol-related harm.
Your application and reports from the agencies involved will be passed on to the Palmerston North District Licensing Committee (DLC) to make a decision whether to grant the renewal of your manager’s certificate.
If there's no opposition to your application you will be notified that the manager’s certificate has been granted. If there are any objections or opposition to your application, you'll be asked to attend a public hearing before the DLC.
