What is a club premises certificate?
The Act recognises that premises to which the public has restricted access and where alcohol is supplied other than for profit give rise to different licensing issues than where alcohol is sold to the public. It is for this reason that the Act preserves aspects of the previous regime as it applied to "club registration certificates" under the new guise of a club premises certificate. "Club premises" includes a vehicle, vessel or moveable structure or any place (including in the open air) or part of a club premises. The certificate can be either on a permanent basis or for a time-limited period.
