Lodge a cease to trade notification

Introduction

If you want to temporarily cease trading for 6 weeks or longer, you need to lodge a cease to trade notification.

Even though you have temporarily ceased trading, you're still subject to the annual liquor licence fee.

When the licensed premises is ready to recommence trading, you will need to lodge a recommence trading application through the liquor licence manager.
