A Liquor Licence is granted by the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. The Department requires applicants to include a Section 40 Certificate as part of the application process. This certificate is obtained from the City of Swan.
A Section 40 application ensures a liquor licence does not contravene or contradict an existing planning decision or requirement. We may include conditions on a Section 40 Certificate to ensure the liquor licence fits within the parameters of a planning decision or requirement.
You will need to make a Section 40 application if you plan to submit a Liquor Licence request to the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor.
Download and complete the Section 40 (Liquor Licence) Application Form.
Alongside your Application Form, you will need to submit a site plan showing the area(s) to be licenced and a copy of the application to be lodged with the Liquor Licensing Board.
Submit your application either:
- via email to swan@swan.wa.gov.au
- in person or post to City of Swan Administration, 2 Midland Square, Midland, 6056.
We will send you an invoice once we receive your application. View our schedule of fees.
If your application is approved, we will send you a Section 40 certificate. You can then supply this to the Department as part of your Liquor Licence Application.
