Members are reminded of the following statement from the Consumer and Business Services website:

Licensed venues must be personally supervised and managed by an approved responsible person (RP) at all times when open to the public. If your venue is not open to the public, an RP is not required.

Approval as a responsible person only authorises the person to supervise and manage the liquor operations of the business. It does not authorise the person to supervise and manage any gaming operations of the business.

The Liquor and Gambling Commissioner must be satisfied that you are a fit and proper person. The honesty, integrity and reputation of both you and your associates will be taken into account in deciding whether you are fit and proper.

Responsible Person approvals are applied for through the LGO portal at a cost of $134, and an additional cost of $22.60 for a badge. However, if the staff member is also a Gaming employee or manager a badge can be made on BOEN.

Members are also reminded that alterations or redefinition to a licensed premises in most circumstances will require approval from the Commissioner. This may include installing new walls, or removing existing walls, redefining areas within the premises, extension of trading areas, to name a few. Any time the coloured lines on your plan/map of the premises are adjusted, the Commissioner must be informed. In nearly all cases you may be required to provide council consent / approval for the works being carried out. Discuss this with your Builder, and or Council before proceeding.

The AHA|SA can assist with any applications to the Commissioner. Contact Didier or Gary on 8232 4525.
