Legal Project Management Plan & Checklist
Use this fork when the applicant proposes to operate a packaged liquor business exclusively via internet, phone, or mail order with no walk-in retail sales to the public whatsoever. The regulatory pathway for a remote delivery packaged liquor licence differs from a physical packaged liquor store in four material ways: a Category A CIS applies (not Category B), reducing the notification radius to 50 metres and avoiding the full suite of Category B public authority consultations; a Statement of Relationship with Private Entities (SoRPE) is required for any third-party delivery platforms; the Plan of Management must address age verification at the point of delivery and prevention of walk-up sales; and crucially, decisions on remote delivery licences are made by LGNSW delegates and review lies only with the ILGA Board via s 36A of the Gaming and Liquor Administration Act 2007 - there is no merits review jurisdiction for remote-only packaged liquor licence decisions. Verify current guidelines on the official .
This fork operates before Liquor and Gaming NSW (LGNSW) as the initial decision-maker, with review by the ILGA Board under s 36A of the Gaming and Liquor Administration Act 2007 (NSW). There is no NCAT merits review jurisdiction for remote delivery packaged liquor licence decisions. Verify current guidelines on the official NSW Legislation.
The applicant confirms the remote-only operational model in writing (no walk-up sales at any time). A Category A CIS is prepared with a 50-metre notification radius. A SoRPE is prepared identifying each third-party delivery platform and describing the nature of the relationship. A remote-delivery-specific Plan of Management is drafted, addressing: electronic age verification at the point of order, physical ID checks at the point of delivery by the delivery driver, same-day delivery restrictions (if applicable), prevention of walk-up sales through physical security measures, and CCTV at the dispatch premises. The Category A CIS and SoRPE are lodged together with the application via the LGNSW Portal. If the decision is unsatisfactory, the only review pathway is a s 36A ILGA administrative review within 28 days - NCAT does not have jurisdiction. Verify current guidelines on the official NSW Legislation.
Key legislation: Liquor Act 2007 (NSW) (packaged liquor licence category); Gaming and Liquor Administration Act 2007 (NSW) s 36A (ILGA Board review, 28 days - only review pathway available, no NCAT jurisdiction for remote delivery decisions); Liquor Regulation 2018 (NSW) (Category A CIS requirements, 50m notification radius); SoRPE: Statement of Relationship with Private Entities, required where the licence holder engages a third-party platform for order-taking, payment processing, or physical delivery. Note: even one instance of walk-up sales at the premises would constitute a breach of the licence conditions and potentially void the remote-delivery classification - advise the client in writing on this point before lodgement.
