On 1 July 2008, new liquor laws came into effect in NSW - the Liquor Act 2007 and the Liquor Regulation 2008. These laws recognise the importance of minimising alcohol-related harm, and the social and cultural role played by responsible alcohol use.
As part of these laws, all those involved in the liquor industry should:
- regulate and control the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol in a way that is consistent with the expectations, needs and aspirations of the community;
- facilitate the balanced development, in the public interest, of the liquor industry through a flexible and practical system of regulation with minimal formality and technicality; and
- contribute to the responsible development of related industries such as the live music, entertainment, tourism and hospitality industries.
