Risk-assessed management plan
A risk assessed management plan (RAMP) is a submission required to be lodged detailing information relating to the licensee’s management practices and procedures at the premises.
A RAMP should include details about:
- the principal activity to be conducted on the premises
- the maximum hours of operation
- responsible service of alcohol initiatives
- participation in a liquor accord in the locality (if applicable)
- security (how many, when, for how long, etc.)
- provision of food (types of food, when it will be available, etc.)
- staff training
- if amplified/outdoor entertainment is proposed, how the impact on the surrounding locality is mitigated.
The following applications must include a RAMP:
- new licence applications
- extended trading hours approvals
- permanent variation of licence applications
- permanent changes in licensed area
- transfers of existing licence
- restricted liquor permits.
The licensee or permittee must notify the Chief Executive of any change in operating practices by lodging a new RAMP. Any proposed change must be approved prior to it taking effect. Failure to advise the Chief Executive of any changes to operating practices may result in disciplinary action.
