Ocean Grove Golf Club Liquor Licence Variation, Bellarine Peninsula

Liquor licensing advisory and approvals for Ocean Grove Golf Club, supporting the transition from temporary liquor licences to a permanent extension of the licensed outdoor deck area to enhance year-round hospitality operations.

Supporting a Major Community Sporting Club

Ocean Grove Golf Club is a long-established sporting and social venue serving the local community and visitors to the Bellarine Peninsula. Known for its golf course and hospitality facilities, the club hosts regular member events and seasonal functions throughout the year.

From Temporary to Permanent Licensing

OTL Consulting Group has provided ongoing liquor licensing support to the club, historically assisting with temporary liquor licences during peak summer periods. As operational demand increased, OTL advised on and prepared a variation application to extend the licensed (red-line) area to include the outdoor deck on a permanent basis.

Regulatory Coordination and Compliance

The process involved detailed coordination with the club and regulators, including liaison with Liquor Control Victoria, to ensure compliance with licensing requirements. The outcome enabled Ocean Grove Golf Club to maintain and enhance its outdoor hospitality offering under a permanent liquor licence arrangement.
