Risk Assessed Management Plans

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.

We engaged RG Strategic to help us with our liquor licence and food licence for our new venue Flo's Creperie in Mooloolaba. Having worked with Russell, Maree and Tracey during the launch of our Noosa venue, we already knew they were a highly professional and knowledgeable team. This time, however, they really went above and beyond, performing a few miracles along the way to ensure we opened up on time. We couldn't be more grateful for their arduous work and commitment. I highly recommend RG Strategic to anyone who needs assistance with planning matters, and I look forward to working with them again in future!

I contacted Russell in distress regarding a grey area regarding the usage of a commercial building I was buying. He acted asap in reviewing Town Planning documents and preparing a submission to Council Officers. Within 2 days he had done all this and met with Council to provide me with a clear path and resolution to my concerns. His communication and support were above and beyond. I highly recommend Russell and RG Strategic.
