Unfortunately, the time it takes for the successful application of a liquor licence can vary anywhere From a few months to much much longer than that. The discretion of whether a liquor licence is granted does lie with the regional liquor board who often find themselves with a massive backlog and administrative delays. Despite this, LSA Associates has a dedicated staff member who visits the liquor board every day to apply pressure and ensure that liquor licence applications are granted as expediently as possible.
