LCQ Licence Types and Conditions 1

Question 1

What is the main difference between an on-licence and an off-licence in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

On-licence allows consumption on the premises; off-licence allows sale for consumption elsewhere

Answer

An on-licence permits the sale and supply of alcohol for consumption on the licensed premises (e.g., restaurants, bars, hotels). An off-licence permits the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises (e.g., bottle stores, supermarkets).

Question 2

What are the specific conditions that typically attach to a club licence in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol can only be supplied to authorised members, their guests, and at club events — not sold to the general public

Answer

A club licence authorises the supply of alcohol to club members and their guests, and at events held by the club. It cannot be used to sell alcohol to the general public. Members must be bona fide members of the club.

Question 3

What conditions might a District Licensing Committee (DLC) place on a licence in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Trading hours, one-way door restrictions, noise limits, requirement for food service, and designation of areas

Answer

A DLC can impose a wide range of conditions including trading hours, one-way door restrictions, noise limits, designation of areas (supervised/restricted), food service requirements, security provisions, and any other conditions it considers appropriate.

Question 4

What is a 'supervised area' designation on NZ licensed premises?

Accepted Answer

An area where minors may enter only if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian

Answer

A supervised area is a designated area of licensed premises where minors (under 18) may be present but only if accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. Unaccompanied minors are not permitted in supervised areas.

Question 5

What is a 'restricted area' on NZ licensed premises?

Accepted Answer

An area where no person under 18 may enter at any time, regardless of who accompanies them

Answer

A restricted area is a designated part of licensed premises where no person under 18 may be present at any time, even if accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is a stricter designation than a supervised area.
