A Guide for Residents Objecting to a Liquor Sales Licence Application
Public Notice
A liquor sales licence may be issued unless pursuant to the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 it is not in the public interest.
Where an application for a liquor sales licence has been filed with the AGCO and there has been no liquor sales licence at that address for at least six (6) months, the AGCO posts a public notification to allow local residents the opportunity to comment on the proposed licence.
The AGCO also posts a public notification where an existing licensee wishes to (1) licence an outdoor space such as a patio, and (2) increase the licensed capacity (indoor or outdoor) of the establishment by more than 25%.
The Registrar may require public notification due to the location or the past compliance history of an establishment.
Please note that the Licence Appeal Tribunal will post a public notification where an existing licensee wishes to remove a condition(s) imposed on the licence as a result of a hearing before a panel of the Board of the AGCO or the Licence Appeal Tribunal.
