The dataset represents a stocktake of all active liquor licences across Victoria and across all licence types, at the first of each month. The data contains the following variables: Licence No, Licence Category, Trading As, Address, Suburb, Postcode, Postal Address, Postal Suburb, Postal Postcode, Council Name, Licensee. The data can be cross-references with other datasets (VCGLR or other), e.g. https://liquor.justice.vic.gov.au/alarm_internet/alarm_internet.asp?wci=start_alarm_internet or http://geomaps.vcglr.vic.gov.au/none-flash/index.html VCGLR publishes three editions of this dataset: licences in metropolitan Melbourne, licences in regional Victoria, and a dataset which holds all licences which are not associated with a particular address (e.g. party busses, internet sales). Addresses are provided as specified on the licence application, do not necessarily adhere to Australian Standards and may be outdated or otherwise inaccurate.
