Fee changes due to COVID-19
As part of the Council’s Pandemic Response Plan, our fees will be changing from Tuesday 1 March 2022 to 28 February 2023.
If your annual alcohol licensing fee is due from Tuesday 1 March 2022 onwards then your fee will be $1. (Plus, the ARLA levy which will be between $17.25 and $172.50 depending on the risk rating of your premises).
If you are varying your alcohol license to include an outdoor area from Tuesday 1 March onwards, your fee will be $1 plus the ARLA levy.
Please be aware that due to COVID-19, there will be some delays. The team are responding as fast as we can so, please bear with us. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
