Licensable Activities

This policy is concerned with regulating the carrying on of licensable activities on licensed premises, at qualifying clubs and at temporary events within the terms of the Act.

The licensable activities are:

• the sale of alcohol by retail
• the supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to, or to the order of, a member of the club
• the provision of regulated entertainment
• the provision of late night refreshment (hot food and drink provided at any time between 11.00pm and 5.00am for consumption on or off the premises)

Accordingly, relevant matters will center on the premises being used for licensable activities and the vicinity of those premises. Whether or not incidents can be regarded as being "in the vicinity" of licensed premises is a question of fact and will depend on the particular circumstances of the case. The Council will primarily focus on the direct impact of the activities taking place at the licensed premises on members of public living, working or engaged in normal activity in the area concerned.
