EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 227 of the Liquor Act 2010 (the Act) provides that the Minister has power to determine fees for the purposes of this Act.

Fees in the 2017-18 financial year have increased (with the exception of the proof of identity card fee that remains the same) from fees in the previous financial year by indexation of 4%. They have been rounded to down to the nearest dollar. 

A 25% discount has been applied to (the adjusted) annual licence fees for:

•	restaurant/café licences with occupancy of 150 patrons or less that close by 2am;
•	other on-premise licence types (for example, bar, nightclub, club) with an occupancy loading of 150 patrons or less that close by 2am.

Fees for off-licences with licensed times after 6pm which have more than $3 million in annual liquor purchases have been increased by a further 5% for every extra $1 million in purchases, capped at 20%.

The determination includes information in the schedule, column 2, on the previous fees set under the Act, enabling comparison with those set by this instrument.
