Restricted liquor permit - Queensland

Description

Trading hours

Trading hours are nominated by the club and endorsed on the permit. These hours are not transferable.

Note: The cost of the permit depends on the number of months and the number of trading hours per week.

  • an RSL honorary member and their guest(s) providing they are accompanied by the member; and
