Liquor Licensing
The Queensland Government has announced the extension of a measure relating to the sale of alcohol introduced in response to COVID-19.
The government has announced they plan to make rules allowing restaurants to sell takeaway wines permanent.
Licensed restaurants that also offer on-premises dining will be allowed to sell takeaway or delivery wine, with a maximum limit of 1.5 litres of wine – or two bottles – sold with a meal between 10am and 10pm.
These rules are set to become permanent.
In order to comply the alcohol will only be allowed to be sold if accompanied by a “substantial meal”. They are excluding things like snacks and we will wait and see if any further clarification is provided on what constitutes a substantial meal. Is a large serve of chips a meal or a snack.
Since the alcohol can be supplied for both takeaway and delivery orders, businesses have to have procedures in place to ensure the identification of online customers to prevent alcohol from being sold to minors.
For restaurants with an existing liquor licence the fee for a permanent takeaway liquor license condition will be waived until June 30, 2022.

RG Strategic came to our rescue. After initially engaging another service to assist with our siting variation we received little to no information or support from them and had our application rejected by council. We were left feeling extremely frustrated and let down by the other service. A friend of ours recommended RG Strategic & we are honestly so fortunate that she did. From our first point of contact with Maree we found her extremely professional & knowledgeable leaving us feeling confident & assured. Maree explained everything and nothing was ever too hard. She went above & beyond to problem solve & produce a thorough & detailed siting variation application which shortly after submission was approved by council. We are extremely grateful for Maree, Russell & the team for providing such a professional & quality local service. Thankyou.

We contacted Russell Green for planning information and were very impressed with his extensive knowledge and thoughtful insight. Russell was wonderful to work with and we look forward to working with him again in the future. We highly recommend RG Strategic.

Russell assisted us through our applications for a Liquor Licence and a Food Licence. 2 things we could "set and forget" and not worry about, allowing us to concentrate on other important issues to get the business up and running. These were completed with minimal fuss and within our timelines.
