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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with RG Strategic and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and expertise. They assisted me with the process of obtaining approval for short term accommodation in Noosa and made it a seamless experience. Their attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that my application was processed smoothly and efficiently, without any hiccups. The team was always available to answer any queries or concerns that I had, and they went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met. Their level of customer service was exceptional, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and competent town planner in Noosa. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with RG Strategic and I am grateful for their assistance in securing approval for my short term accommodation. Thank you so much to the entire team for your hard work and dedication!

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.

On behalf of the Tinbeerwah Hall Cttee I would highly recommend RG Strategic. Russell, Maree and the team are all highly professional and very knowledgeable in dealing with Council town planning processes. They provided a thorough and effective service managing the application for the hall, and I cannot thank them enough for obtaining the appropriate approval/permit from Noosa Council to install toilets etc in our community hall.

The prompt advice and expertise of the RG Strategic team at the town planning stage, has allowed us to push forward with our developments far quicker than we had expected, through a far shorter Council approval process, and this has resulted in significant cost savings. This prompt and valuable advice has extended to the operational works and hydraulics requirements of the development, and we look forward to a long relationship with RG Strategic.
