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.
