Draft Local Alcohol Policy

Council is consulting with our community to ensure our Local Alcohol Policy is meeting our needs.

Council may consider policies on the:

  • Location of places which sell alcohol, this can include pubs, bars, clubs, restaurants, cafes, bottle stores, supermarkets and anywhere else which has a licence to sell alcohol.
  • Maximum trading hours for licenced premises.
  • One way door restriction which is a policy that allows customers to leave but not re-enter a premises after a certain time.
  • Discretionary conditions which a licensing committee may consider when considering an alcohol licence application.
