How the scheme works
Venues with 19 or more incidents (Level 1 venues) are subject to six additional special licence conditions:
- A mandatory 2am lockout of patrons (except members of a registered club).
- Cessation of alcohol service 30 minutes prior to close.
- No glass containers to be used after midnight.
- No shots and drink limit restrictions after midnight.
- 10 minute alcohol sales time out every hour after midnight or active distribution of water and/or food.
- 1 or more additional security measure/s.
Venues with 12 to 18 incidents (Level 2 venues) are subject to these three additional conditions:
- Cessation of alcohol services 30 minutes prior to close.
- No glass containers to be used after midnight.
- 10 minute alcohol sales time out every hour after midnight or active distribution of water and/or food.
Level 1 and Level 2 venues must also maintain an incident register during all trading hours.
Those venues with eight to 11 incidents (Level 3 venues) will be provided with additional support from the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing to strengthen alcohol and security management.
Education and support will be provided to all venues and, consistent with standard practices, venues may be included in the routine risk based inspection program.
