RAMP experts for your licensing needs.
What is a Liquor Licensing Risk Assessed Management Plan (RAMP)?
A risk-assessed management plan (RAMP) is a Queensland Government requirement for licensed venues. It’s a document that describes a liquor licensee’s management practices and procedures at their licensed premises.
“We used Russell and the RG Strategic team to get our liquor license for our new coffee roasters in Yandina. We couldn’t recommend them enough. We received our liquor license in a fantastic timeframe and it really took the hassle out of a hard process. Do yourself a favour and get RG Strategic out to your venue. Their experience is second to none!”

Risk Assessed Management Plans and your licensed venue
When applying for a liquor licence in Queensland you may be required to develop and have in place a Risk Assessed Management Plan (RAMP).
This RAMP sets out details of how you will:
- serve your patrons (food and drink),
- set maximum hours of operation,
- implement safety and security measures, and
- ensure staff are following all requirements of responsible service of alcohol.
A Risk Assessed Management Plan outlines how a licensee will manage their premises to minimise harm caused by alcohol abuse and misuse.
It is a great tool to use for new staff induction and training and is a document that management should refer to regularly to ensure all elements are up to date with liquor licensing regulations.
Your RAMP must be approved by the Commissioner as part of your application, and you must provide signage in your venue that you have a RAMP and patrons are able to request to read it.
Errors and omissions in your RAMP can delay your liquor license
Be aware that if there are any gaps in your RAMP it may mean a delay in your liquor license application being assessed and approved.
As all new liquor licence applications require a RAMP it is important you have this document researched and prepared by industry specialists so no element is left out, which could halt or delay your application.
You can apply for the RAMP requirement to be waived if you are deemed Low Risk e.g. some cafés and restaurants. It is at the discretion of the Commissioner if this waiver is granted.
The RG Strategic team is experienced and knowledgeable in all forms of liquor licensing applications, Risk-Assessed Management Plans and Community Impact Statements.

Working with Russell on our new project, Larder & Baked no doubt allowed our venture to have its approvals in on time and with minimal hassle. Russell is a wealth of knowledge, super easy to work with and most importantly supportive of all businesses. Big and small. we're already working with RG Strategic on a new licence for our business and look forward to having his skilled expertise on all of our future ventures.

A big thanks to Russell and the team at RG Strategic for their efforts with Town planning, Liquor licence and Food premise license for us at Roast and Gravy co. Their friendly approach and great service made the process easy. I would highly recommend them for any project requiring a deft touch. Gabriel @ Roast and Gravy co.

We had RG strategic help with an extra licensed area at Whisky Boy in Noosaville. Russell dealt with liquor licensing from start to finish and we had the area approved by the date that we requested, wouldn't have happened so quickly without their help. The team at RG Strategic are super professional and go the extra mile to help with all the red tape that comes with a project such as this. We will definitely be using them again in the future for any other town planning we would require in the Noosa area. Thanks again, great job!

I couldn’t recommend Russell and his team enough. They have handled Moonstruck Noosa's council applications and liquor licence for our new café. Their knowledge, network and support made the whole process so much easier and stress-free.
