65: Secretary of authority to set up and maintain registers

You could also call this:

“The government keeps a record book of alcohol licences and certificates”

The secretary of the licensing authority has to set up and maintain registers that record information about licences and managers’ certificates. You can think of a register like a big book that keeps track of all the details. The secretary must keep these registers up to date with all the prescribed particulars, which means all the required information, about licences, managers’ certificates, and applications for them.

The secretary also has to let anyone in the public get a copy of some of the information from the register, but you have to pay a fee for it. This copy is called an extract, and it’s like a snapshot of the information you’re interested in.

If you want to know more about how this works, you can look at s 220 for more information.
