What is a maximum patron capacity report?
A patron capacity report is a document that confirms the maximum number of people that you can have in a licensed venue. It’s an essential report for any bar, club or restaurant that is applying for a liquor licence. This report can only be obtained through a registered surveyor.
A capacity report will take into account a number of factors within the premises. This includes the total floor space, toilet facilities, entrances and exits, and more. All of these factors have an impact on the safety of the premises, and will be investigated during the assessment stage.
The report and its findings may also be used to calculate the annual fee of the liquor licence for the venue. If a venue exceeds their permitted capacity, they can be subject to heavy fines. This is enforced by the relevant state body.
