It is a legal requirement under The Sale of Liquor Act 1989 that a person obtains a licence before selling or supplying liquor to the public.
The Sale of Liquor Act
 |
The philosophy behind the Act is not to restrict liquor sale and supply, but rather to promote safe and legal drinking. Licensees and managers must ensure that all staff are familiar with the provisions of the legislation so that they are fully aware of their duties and responsibilities.
