What happens to your licence after a Nambour charge?
In Queensland the licence consequences start before you reach court and continue after sentence. This timeline follows them in order under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 (TORUM).
| When | What happens to your licence | Law |
|---|---|---|
| At the roadside | Under 0.10: a 24-hour suspension. At 0.10 or more, after failing to give a specimen, or with another drink driving charge pending: suspended until the charge is decided | TORUM s 79B |
| Before the Nambour sitting | You stay off the road if suspended until court. A s 79E order lets some people drive in the meantime | s 79E |
| At sentence | A disqualification is mandatory. The court sets its length within the range for your charge, or makes a work licence order if you qualify | ss 86, 87 |
| After the disqualification | You return on a probationary licence for at least a year. At 0.10 or more, for under the influence, failing to give a specimen, or a second offence in 5 years, you drive with an interlock for 12 months | ss 91I, 91N |
A penalty unit is $172.70 from 1 July 2026. For a first offence, the disqualification ranges are:
- no alcohol limit (learners, P-platers and some other licence holders): 3 to 9 months, with up to 20 units ($3,454) or 3 months' jail;
- general alcohol limit (0.05 to under 0.10): 2 to 9 months, with the same maximum;
- middle alcohol limit (0.10 to under 0.15): 3 to 12 months, with up to 28 units ($4,835) or 6 months;
- 0.15 or more, under the influence, or failing to give a specimen: at least 6 months, with up to 40 units ($6,908) or 9 months.
Not recording a conviction does not avoid the disqualification. Full figures, including repeat offences, are in our QLD drink driving penalties guide, and each charge is explained in our Queensland drink driving offences guide.
Why do Nambour's sitting dates matter for your licence?
Nambour Magistrates Court sits as a circuit of Maroochydore on set dates only. Under the 2026 calendar, all matters are listed at 9am on set Mondays. Watch-house bail and Notice to Appear matters are listed for 8.30am. The remaining 2026 sittings are:
| Month | Monday sitting dates |
|---|---|
| November 2026 | 2 and 16 November |
| December 2026 | 7 December |
If you were suspended until court, every week before your sitting is a week off the road. An adjournment can push your matter to the next sitting date, so come to the first one with your material ready if you plan to plead guilty. Check the Nambour 2026 calendar and follow your notice if it gives a different date.
Can you apply for a work licence at a Nambour sitting?
Yes, if you qualify. Section 87 applications go into the Monday 9am list alongside everything else. The gateway tests come first: an open Queensland licence at the time, a reading below 0.15, and no driving for work or in a truck, tractor or bus. A clean 5-year history is also needed, meaning no licence sanction and no drink or drug driving conviction in that time. Only then does the court look at extreme hardship to your livelihood and whether you are fit and proper (TMR – restricted licence).
The application is made after the finding of guilt and before the disqualification is ordered, so the affidavits must be ready on the day. For a middle alcohol limit offence, the restricted licence is subject to the interlock condition (s 87 note, s 91K). Our DUI restricted work licence guide explains what the affidavits should cover.
Special hardship applications are listed on the same day, but they relate to other licence suspensions and do not apply to a court-ordered drink driving disqualification. See our special hardship licence guide.
What if you plead not guilty?
The calendar says hearings in Nambour matters are conducted in Maroochydore only. If you dispute the charge, expect the hearing to be set down at Maroochydore Magistrates Court in Cornmeal Parade. Get advice on the evidence first. Our guide to Queensland drink driving defences covers the issues, and the court process guide explains each step.
How does the interlock work after a Nambour conviction?
If the interlock applies, you serve the disqualification first, then hold a licence that only lets you drive a vehicle with an approved interlock fitted, for 12 months (TORUM ss 91I and 91N). The device must be serviced by an approved provider. Our QLD alcohol interlock guide covers fitting, costs and removal, and TMR has the official rules.
What should you bring to Currie Street?
Because the court sits only on set Mondays, treat the sitting as your one chance to be ready. Bring your Traffic Offenders Program certificate if you have done one, and signed references from people who know you have been charged. If you are seeking a work licence, bring the sworn affidavits from you and your employer rather than an unsworn letter. Medical or counselling letters and a copy of your traffic history help the magistrate see the whole picture. Organise someone to drive you home, as any disqualification begins straight away.
The courthouse is in Currie Street in central Nambour, and Nambour has a railway station on the Sunshine Coast line. If you are suspended, plan the trip before the sitting.
Which courts are near Nambour?
Maroochydore is about 14 km away and runs the Nambour circuit. Caloundra is about 25 km away. Our Sunshine Coast drink driving page compares the Coast's courts. Attend the court named on your notice. For statewide information, see Queensland traffic law.
Queensland penalty changes in 2026: check your offence date (law checked 20 Oct 2026).
Offences on or after 31 August 2026: higher maximum fines apply. They are 20 penalty units ($3,454) for the general alcohol limit and no alcohol limit offences, 28 ($4,835.60) for the middle alcohol limit and 40 ($6,908) for driving under the influence of liquor or a drug. A first general alcohol limit conviction (0.05 to under 0.10) on an open licence now carries 2 to 9 months' disqualification. For offences before 31 August 2026 it was 1 to 9 months. Police can now give an eligible first low-range driver on an open Queensland licence an infringement notice of $1,295 instead of a court charge. Unless the driver elects to go to court, a 2-month disqualification follows. It counts as a conviction, and there is no work licence for that period. Drug driving (a relevant drug present) has not changed yet. The maximum is 14 penalty units ($2,417.80) or 3 months, with 1 to 9 months' disqualification on an open licence and 3 to 9 months for learner, P-plate and unlicensed drivers.
Offences on or after 1 December 2026: minimum fines start for drink and drug driving. For example, the minimum is 7.5 penalty units for low range and for drug driving. The drug driving maximum rises to 28 penalty units, and a first offence on an open licence carries 2 to 9 months' disqualification. A new offence of driving with a relevant drug present while over an alcohol limit adds 1 month to the disqualification range.
An offence committed before a change is generally dealt with under the penalties in force when it happened. Sources: TORUM ss 78E, 79, 79B, 79H–79J and 86, as amended by the Queensland Community Safety Act 2024 and the Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2026. Penalty unit $172.70 from 1 July 2026.

Josh Boorman worked with me to present a very strong case for my low range alcohol offence and I was acquitted with no fine, no suspension and no conviction. We spent a lot of time together writing and re-writing my references to get the wording perfect and also my explanation of how my offence came about. Josh has a lot of experience in this particular field and his thoroughness and presentation paid off successfully. A fixed fee agreed on before you start means you know exactly where you stand. Well done. Thanks again Josh.”

No. The calendar says hearings in Nambour matters are held at Maroochydore. Your mentions and a guilty plea can be dealt with at a Nambour sitting.
Can I drive until my Nambour date?
It depends on your reading. Under 0.10, the suspension lasts 24 hours. At 0.10 or more you are suspended until the charge is decided (s 79B), unless a s 79E order is made.
Does a first offence mean I lose my licence?
Yes. Every drink driving conviction in Queensland carries a disqualification, and the court cannot avoid it by not recording a conviction. The length depends on your reading and history.
Can I get a work licence if I was on P-plates?
No. A s 87 work licence needs an open Queensland licence. A provisional or probationary driver cannot apply.
