Comment on a licence application
There is a 28-day consultation period for:
- new licence applications
- applications to change (vary) an existing licence
You must send your comments by the last day of the consultation period. Comments are also called representations.
You can comment on a:
- new licence
- variation to an existing licence
- review of an existing licence
Go to current licence applications and reviews
Who can comment
Anyone can make a representation (objection) against a licence application, but it must include your name and contact details — anonymous objections are not accepted.
We must be satisfied that your objection is genuine and made for a legitimate reason. We also need to be able to contact you in case you need to respond to anything related to your representation.
If you're worried about intimidation, you can:
- ask the police for advice
- ask a responsible authority to make a representation on your behalf
Your objection must relate to at least one of the 4 licensing objectives.
We can only consider representations or requests that are not 'vexatious' or 'frivolous'.
