Notify the appointment or termination of a duty manager

Notice of appointment / termination of manager

All Licensees are required to notify the appointment and/or termination of all certificate holding managers, and the appointment of any temporary or acting manager appointments for periods of more than 48 hours to the District Licensing Committee (DLC) and Police - see

You will only need to notify the appointment of your certificate holding managers once during their employment as long as the Manager’s Certificate remains current and the Manager’s Certificate number does not change.

If the appointment and/or termination of certificate holding managers, or the appointment of any acting or temporary managers (if applicable) is not properly notified, the Licensee opens itself to infringement fines and the unlawful sale of alcohol.

In each case, you must complete the notification form below. Ensure you email this form to both the DLC and Police - email addresses on form.

The Licensee will also need to update its managers’ register with the details - see

Note: the notification procedure is separate from the application process for a licence or a manager’s certificate and includes the appointment of owner/operators. If you are unsure if you have properly notified the appointment and/or the termination of the employment of your certificate holding managers, please contact a Licensing Inspector or email sol@huttcity.govt.nz
