Licence holder responsibilities

Licence holders must make sure that: 

  • the licence is kept up to date with the council
  • each facility has its own licence and star rating (for example, franchise model businesses)
  • the licence is displayed on any premises used for the licensable activity at all times
  • the name of the licence holder followed by the licence number is clearly displayed on any website used for the licensable activity. 

A licence can be varied, suspended or revoked without the consent of the licence holder if: 

  • the licence conditions are not being complied with 
  • regulations are breached 
  • information supplied by the licence holder is false or misleading 
  • it's necessary to protect the welfare of an animal.

It's an offence for the licence holder to breach any licence condition.
