Do You Need a Variation for Entertainment?

  • Did you apply for a straight conversion of your old liquor licence during the transitional period up to 6 August 2005 without making a variation?

  • Did you only have a liquor licence, and not have a separate public entertainment licence (PEL) under the old system?

  • Did you use the old '2 in a bar' exemption to have live music with up to 2 performers without needing a PEL?

Under the new licensing system all musical entertainment has become a licensable activity.
