A planning permit is generally required for the sale and consumption of liquor and must be obtained prior to application for a liquor licence from Liquor Control Victoria
Exemptions to this requirement apply, and depend on the location of the premises and the type of liquor licence that is proposed. If a planning permit is not required you must request written confirmation from the City of Melbourne and provide this to Liquor Control Victoria as part of your liquor licence application.

Submit a liquor enquiry
To have your proposal assessed by a planning officer and receive written advice, you must submit a liquor enquiry request form.
