ALCOHOL LICENSING
ChanceryGreen offers a ‘one stop service’ assisting clients to obtain their alcohol licences. Our clients operate a diverse range of licensed premises from casinos, theatres, restaurants, taverns, and luxury boats to grocery stores and remote sellers. We act for licensees throughout New Zealand.
We also regularly act for submitters opposing applications for alcohol licences.
We advise on all aspects of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012:
Preparing all types of licence applications, renewals and variations
Obtaining planning and Building Act certificates, and street trading licences
Preparing and obtaining special licences and temporary authorities
Appearing before District Licensing Committees and the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority
High Court appeals
Defending in prosecutions or suspensions
The promulgation and implementation of Local Alcohol Policies
We also provide alcohol licensing advice and ongoing Licence Controller Qualification training to the country's largest entertainment and hospitality provider.
Our advice is strategic and aims to secure the most effective licensing arrangements for our clients, drawing on our extensive experience dealing with District Licensing Committees and related authorities (such as NZ Police, Inspectors and Public Health). Jason Welsh was formerly a member of the Auckland District Licensing Committee, so he knows how they operate and what they are looking for in applications and evidence.
