When you apply for a licence, certificate, or authority, the secretary of the licensing authority or committee must give it to you after they are sure you have met all the requirements. They will give you the licence, certificate, or authority once they are satisfied that you have done everything they asked for. The licence, certificate, or authority will have any necessary endorsements that the authority or committee has directed.

If the licensing authority or committee says you can have a licence for a premises, the premises is not officially licensed until you get the licence. You must receive the licence before the premises can be considered licensed.

The licensing authority or committee's decision is related to s 114, which has more information about this topic.
