Apply for outdoor dining approval

You can apply for a temporary expansion of your licensed boundaries to include a new outdoor dining area. 

There are 2 fast-track pathways to apply. The one you use depends on the type of land you want to use for outdoor dining and if you need council approval.

• Pathway 1 – outdoor dining on footpaths and roads
• Pathway 2 – outdoor dining on other types of land

Other types of land includes private and public land such as bowling greens and car parks adjacent to the licensed premises. You need to have the landholder's consent to use the land for outdoor dining.

There is no application fee for the temporary change of liquor licence boundary for outdoor dining.
