Liquor licences
To sell liquor in NSW, you require a licence. This includes liquor sold at a fete by a fundraising committee at a school or at a sports club, direct marketing, or where the cost of liquor is hidden in other charges, such as membership/entry fees.
A licence is also required where the cost may be absorbed by other items. For example, a "free" bottle of wine is included in the price of a three course meal in an unlicensed restaurant. In this example, the cost of the meal would constitute the liquor sale.
Liquor licences in NSW are issued by the Licensing Court of NSW.
