Longer trading hours for fans to enjoy football championship
Applications are now open for pubs and bars in Western Australian to stay open longer and serve liquor while showing televised matches of the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 Championship.
Licensed premises can apply for extended liquor trading hours when the football matches are being played in Germany from 14 June to 14 July 2024. Applications should be lodged with the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) as soon as possible.
The Director of Liquor Licensing will allow venues to apply for longer hours when games are being played late at night or early in the morning in WA. All dates relevant to the championship can be entered in one application.
Approved licensed venues will be permitted to trade until 30 minutes after the conclusion of the match, provided they are showing a live broadcast during the extended trading period.
The application process has been simplified, with fees calculated based on the number of people expected at the licensed venue over the whole event. Application fees have been capped at a maximum of $1285.50 regardless of the number of patrons present.
