Introduction

Note: licensees can apply to the licensing authority to modify any of the listed conditions.

Standard conditions

Licensed security requirements

Licensed crowd controllers, in accordance with the Securities and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996, are to be provided for the duration determined in the ETP/variation. The ratio of  crowd controllers will be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration of the licensee’s strategies to minimise alcohol consumption on the premises. A ratio of 2  crowd controllers for the first 100 patrons and one crowd controller for each additional 100 patrons (unless the permanent licence specifies otherwise) of part thereof may be required for  the duration of the permit/variation.

Packaged liquor — prohibited

The sale of packaged liquor for consumption off the premises is prohibited for the duration of the hours covered in the permit/variation.

Drinks

Live sporting broadcast — general conditions

1. During permitted hours authorised under an extended trading permit or a variation of licence conditions, the licensee is authorised to sell liquor on the licensed premises for consumption on the licensed premises, only ancillary to the provision of televised coverage of UEFA EURO Championships 2024 matches.
2. There is to be no liquor discounting or advertising of cheap liquor during the period covered by the permit/variation of licence conditions. 
3. Live entertainment by one or more artists present in person, or performing by way of recorded music is prohibited.
4. For special facility licences required to provide food during permitted hours, this condition will not be varied. For other licence types, as a minimum, light food and non-alcoholic beverages such as tea and coffee, must be available during the hours authorised under an ETP or a variation of licence conditions.
5. The licensee and/or an approved manager must contact the officer in charge of the police station closest to the licensed premises within 48 hours prior to the extended trading permit/variation of licence conditions and advise that trading will occur.
6. During the permitted hours authorised under the permit/variation, patrons are prohibited from entering or re-entering the licensed premises 20 minutes after the kick-off of each match.
7. Where the permitted hours under an ETP or variation of licence conditions has been approved to accommodate more than one match, patrons may be permitted to enter or re-enter the licensed premises during the interval between the conclusion of one match and, up to 20 minutes after the kick off of the subsequent match.
8. Patrons must vacate the licensed premises within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the televised match(es) covered by the permit/variation of licence conditions, or the time stipulated in the permit/variation of licence conditions, whichever is the later.

Lodgement of applications

Licensees must lodge their applications as soon as possible, as late applications are unlikely to be considered. 

When applications are lodged, other than for Club Restricted licences, the fee will be calculated based on the total number of people estimated to be present in the licensed area over the whole tournament.

Club restricted fees will still be $48 for each day requested. A day can include more than one match.

In addition, fees will be capped at $1285.50* for the event regardless of the number of persons present.   All dates relevant to the UEFA EURO Championships 2024 can be entered in one application.

*For example, if the anticipated number of people in the licensed area at any time is 100 people per day over 10 proposed dates, the total number of people for the series of events would be 1,000 and therefore the payable fee would equate to $253.00. 

As such, the fee caps will be calculated as follows: 

• No more than 500 people — $123.00 
• No more than 5000 people — $253.00
• Over 5000 people  — $1285.50.
