Licensed Premises Policy

Our city’s vibrancy is showcased in our variety of cafes, restaurants and entertainment destinations. Licensed premises contribute vitality to an area by activating streetscapes, providing passive surveillance and enhancing identity as an entertainment/tourism destination.

Council is proposing a licensed premises policy to guide decisions on planning permit applications. The policy aims to promote the positive aspects of licensed premises whilst minimising any negatives.
