Register to serve BYO alcoholic drinks at a business

Businesses in the Northern Territory that want to serve BYO liquor to customers, must register as a BYO server of liquor.

Registration allows you to serve liquor that was brought onto the premises by a customer or a guest of a party.

The liquor must be served by the business and consumed with food.

A business can register for three years.

If your business already has a liquor licence to sell liquor you don't have to register to serve BYO.
