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.

A very pleasing experience working with Russell and his team at RG Strategic. We achieved just the outcome we desired for our application to Noosa Council. Russell and his team are a pleasure to work with, timely in their responsiveness, and authoritative and persuasive in the proposal they prepared on our behalf. We are happy to recommend RG Strategic.

From the very first phone call just enquiring Russell was incredibly helpful and patient with all my questions, offering me advice and guiding me through the whole process for my application. Prompt responses from him and his team and I received regular updates throughout. A great team and service was fantastic throughout!! I will definitely be using them again for future applications!

I engaged Russell Green from RG Strategic to help me to obtain planning approval for a development project in a sensitive Local Government Area. Throughout the town planning application, Russell not only provided me with the expertise necessary to acquire planning consent but gave me the guidance that I needed to navigate my way through the Council’s Regulated Procedures. Russell and his team consulted with various Local Authorities, Local Members and multiple industry representatives to ensure they provided me with the highest professional level of service and the best available options for development that was essential to the success of the development project. Russell went above and beyond to assist me. I highly recommend Russell and his team to anyone seeking a successful town planning application approval.

I couldn’t recommend RG Strategic enough. If you have any Town Planning issues in Noosa or the Sunshine Coast then look no further. I had some frustrating issues with my food premises in regards to our Body Corporate and Russell soon sorted everything out. Couldn’t be more thankful.
