Applicants are required to consult with affected parties—including community and educational facilities and places of assembly—within 250 metres of the proposed venue and obtain written approvals. A printable consultation form is available here. These should be included in your online application.

Once Council consent is granted, applicants must proceed to apply to the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) for a Class 4 operator’s licence. More details on this process are available here.
