Alcohol Licensing Fees
On-licence
The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 has introduced national risk based fees for all alcohol
licences. The new fee system, set by the Ministry of Justice, more fairly reflects the cost of
alcohol licensing.
The licence fee category is determined using the below criteria. You can use the tables below to
estimate the fee you need to pay when lodging your application.

Definitions
Class 1 restaurants restaurants with a significant separate bar area which, in the opinion of
Matamata Piako District Council, operate that bar at least one night a week in the nature of a tavern,
such as serving alcohol without meals to tables situated in the bar area.
Class 2 restaurants restaurants that have a separate bar (which may include a small bar area) but
which, in the opinion of Matamata Piako District Council, do not operate that area in the nature of tavern
at any time.
Class 3 restaurants restaurants that only serve alcohol to the table and do not have a separate bar
area.
Class 1 clubs clubs which, in the opinion of Hamilton City Council, are large clubs (with 1,000 or more
members of purchase age) and which, in the opinion of Hamilton City Council, operate in the nature of a
tavern (for example a large working men's club, combined clubs, or large 'cossie' clubs).
Class 2 clubs clubs which do not fit class 1 or class 3 definitions (for example larger sports clubs,
medium sized RSAs, many provincial social clubs).
Class 3 clubs - clubs which, in the opinion of Hamilton City Council, are small clubs (with fewer than
250 members of purchase age) and which operate a bar for 40 hours or less per week (for example
small sports clubs like bowling clubs, golf clubs, bridge clubs, and small RSAs).
Enforcement has the same meaning as a “Holding” under section 288 of the Act, or a previous
offence for which a holding may have been issued if the offence had occurred before 18 December
2013.
Application Fee
The licensing system has five fee categories, which reflect the range of cost/risk ratings. A premises'
fee category determines the application fee that the licensee has to pay.

Annual Fee
The new Act also introduces an annual fee for all licences. The annual fee is due before the licence is
issued (for new licences) and then every year on the licence anniversary date. The amount of the annual fee
you pay will be determined on the fee category and risk rating at the day the annual fee is due. You will
receive a reminder that your annual fee is due in the mail prior to the due date. All fees below are GST
inclusive.

Please note that it is Matamata Piako District Council that determines the final application and annual fees
so you may be charged further fees before your licence is granted.
All fees are set by the Ministry of Justice. For more information, see www.justice.govt.nz. If you need
