Liquor Licensing
When you are organising a party where an existing liquor licence is held or an event where alcohol is sold you will need to lodge a limited liquor licence with the Liquor and Gambling Commission. These applications must be submitted to the Commission at least 14 days prior to the event.

Council approval will be required before the Liquor and Gambling Commission issue their approval for all licence applications.
To receive Council approval you will need to provide the following details:
- Date
- Name of the event
- The times alcohol will be served eg begin at 8.00 pm and finish at 12.00 midnight
- The location
- The responsible person
- Plan of the licensed area
NOTE - you can provide Council with a copy of the Liquor and Gambling application form as this has all the details on it.
This information needs to be provided to Council in writing at least 14 days prior to the event. You can drop this information off to any one of our council offices - Morgan, Mannum or Cambrai or email it to postbox@mid-murray.sa.gov.au
