104: Who decides application for licence

You could also call this:

"Who gets to decide if you can get a liquor licence?"

When you apply for a licence, a licensing committee can decide if you get it. They can also ask the licensing authority to decide if they get permission from the chairperson. The committee must give the authority all the information about your application.

This information includes your application and any supporting papers. It also includes a copy of the public notice about your application and when it was published. You will also need to provide any objections and supporting papers, as well as reports made under section 103 and a certificate referred to in section 100(f). The committee must send all these documents to the licensing authority so they can make a decision about your licence.
