Changes To Liquor Licensing Laws


The changes to liquor licensing laws that will take effect from 3 May 2010 will benefit producers and other licensees by reducing costs and red tape, while still promoting responsible service and consumption of alcohol at licensed premises.

The laws provide more clarity around recognising an intoxicated person and also introduce a new offence for members of the public seeking to purchase alcohol on behalf of someone who is intoxicated. It is important to note that there are no new offences for licensees, but the new laws will introduce expiation fees for many existing offences.

This page includes important information to help you understand the changes to the Liquor Licensing Act 1997 and to ensure that you are compliant when the new laws commence.
