RAMP experts for your licensing needs.
What is a Liquor Licensing Risk Assessed Management Plan (RAMP)?
A risk-assessed management plan (RAMP) is a Queensland Government requirement for licensed venues. It’s a document that describes a liquor licensee’s management practices and procedures at their licensed premises.
“We used Russell and the RG Strategic team to get our liquor license for our new coffee roasters in Yandina. We couldn’t recommend them enough. We received our liquor license in a fantastic timeframe and it really took the hassle out of a hard process. Do yourself a favour and get RG Strategic out to your venue. Their experience is second to none!”

Risk Assessed Management Plans and your licensed venue
When applying for a liquor licence in Queensland you may be required to develop and have in place a Risk Assessed Management Plan (RAMP).
This RAMP sets out details of how you will:
- serve your patrons (food and drink),
- set maximum hours of operation,
- implement safety and security measures, and
- ensure staff are following all requirements of responsible service of alcohol.
A Risk Assessed Management Plan outlines how a licensee will manage their premises to minimise harm caused by alcohol abuse and misuse.
It is a great tool to use for new staff induction and training and is a document that management should refer to regularly to ensure all elements are up to date with liquor licensing regulations.
Your RAMP must be approved by the Commissioner as part of your application, and you must provide signage in your venue that you have a RAMP and patrons are able to request to read it.
Errors and omissions in your RAMP can delay your liquor license
Be aware that if there are any gaps in your RAMP it may mean a delay in your liquor license application being assessed and approved.
As all new liquor licence applications require a RAMP it is important you have this document researched and prepared by industry specialists so no element is left out, which could halt or delay your application.
You can apply for the RAMP requirement to be waived if you are deemed Low Risk e.g. some cafés and restaurants. It is at the discretion of the Commissioner if this waiver is granted.
The RG Strategic team is experienced and knowledgeable in all forms of liquor licensing applications, Risk-Assessed Management Plans and Community Impact Statements.

When we made the decision to re-launch the Noosa Enduro, Russell and his team at RG Strategic was the first phone call we made. Russell's immense knowledge of the local council landscape and processes were vital to our event to ensure correct planning, applications and permits were in place. The professionalism shown throughout all of our high level dealings and documents elevated our event and helped provide confidence to all key stakeholders. I'm thrilled we made the decision to engage Russell and the team at RG Strategic and I will remain a client for many years to come.

The prompt advice and expertise of the RG Strategic team at the town planning stage, has allowed us to push forward with our developments far quicker than we had expected, through a far shorter Council approval process, and this has resulted in significant cost savings. This prompt and valuable advice has extended to the operational works and hydraulics requirements of the development, and we look forward to a long relationship with RG Strategic.
