Liquor Licence (Occasional)

If you intend to sell alcohol at your event, or you’re going to charge a door entry where alcohol is included in the price, you will need to apply for an Occasional Liquor Licence from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. Due to the permissions required and notification needed, you will need have this process started not later than 4 weeks prior to your event, otherwise permission may not be received in time. Sporting clubs holding a Club Restricted Licence may need to apply for an Occasional Licence, if they are planning an event. The terms of their Club Restricted Licence may not cover the days/times of their fund raising or end of year functions.

Process:

• When discussing your booking over the phone, mention to Community Facilities Officer that you intend to sell alcohol at your event. You will also be required to state this on any web based, or printed application forms;
• You will be sent a contract with the days/times of your event, stating if alcohol is permitted;
• You then must apply for a licence with the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor, attaching notification of support from the City with your application;
• Once you have received your Occasional Licence, a copy must be sent to the City to confirm your booking.

Gaming Licence

If you intend to raise funds by the way of gaming, you will need to apply for an appropriate permit from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor (RGL). Due to the permissions required and notification needed, you will need have this process started not later than 4 weeks prior to your event, otherwise permission may not be received in time.

Process:

• When discussing your booking over the phone, mention to Community Facilities Officer that you intend to apply for a gaming permit;
• There are two forms that will need to be completed. One is for approval of the actual facility to be used for gaming, the other to obtain a permit for gaming:

1. Approval of Premises Application Form: Obtainable from RGL, this form is to get approval to use the venue for the purpose of gaming.
   

   You will be required to complete part of this form and submit it to the City of Wanneroo, a fee of $100 is payable to the City.
   Once the City has complete their part of the form and all internal approvals have been given, it will be posted back to you (please allow 10 days for this).
   You must then forward this “original” copy to RGL (another fee applies to RGL).
   Once the permit has been granted, a copy must be forwarded to the City

2. Application for Permit to Conduct a Gaming Function: Obtainable from RGL, this form gives you approval from RGL to conduct a function that involves gaming. This form doesn’t need to be forward to the City, but goes straight to RGL.

Bouncy Castles (Indoor)

If you intend to have a bouncy castle setup in one of the City’s facilities, you must confirm this with a Community Facilities Officer when making a booking.  Please have the size details available so our staff can confirm if it will fit inside the building safely.
Due to the slippery nature of materials the bouncy castles are made of, it is important to weigh them down with sand bags, please ensure any spilt sand is cleaned up afterwards. Furthermore, it is very important to provide strict adult supervision at all times.  
You also may want to take into account the noise generated by the fan. The way facilities are constructed, the noise can echo within the room and make subtle conversation nearly impossible.
