Liquor Licences
The Marlborough District Council is the district licensing agency for the Marlborough region and, as such, is responsible for administering applications for liquor licences and managers' certification.
Liquor Licences
Selling or supplying liquor to the public requires a licence under the Sale of Liquor Act 1989. There are four kinds of licences for premises - an on licence, off licence, club licence and special licence, depending on the type of premises. Contact Marlborough District Council for more information on the type of licence you will require.
Manager's Certificate
To comply with the Sale of Liquor Act 1989, when a premises is licensed, a duty manager with a current manager's certificate must be on duty at all times.
The two types of manager's certificate are the general manager's certificate, which authorises the holder to manage any licensed premises, or a club manager's certificate. Holders of a club manager's certificate can manage premises that hold a club or a special licence.
