130: Who decides application for renewal

You could also call this:

"Who gets to decide if you can renew your alcohol licence?"

When you apply to renew a licence, a licensing committee can decide if you get it. They can look at your application and make a decision. You need to give them all the information they need to make this decision.

If the committee is not sure, they can ask the licensing authority to decide instead. The committee must send all the information about your application to the authority. This includes your application, any supporting papers, and a copy of the public notice about your application.

The committee also sends any objections people have made and reports about your application. These reports are made under a part of the law called section 103. The licensing authority uses all this information to decide if you can renew your licence.
