Some liquor-related businesses are considered to be low risk in terms of alcohol-related violence, so Licensees of these venues are not required to join the local Safe Night Out Board.
The exemption will apply to:
- Restaurants (provided that they don’t regularly trade after midnight)
- Accommodation providers (provided that they don’t regularly trade after midnight)
- Very small Clubs operating under a ‘Community Other’ Licence.
- Producer/wholesalers
- Vessels
- Cinemas
- Commercial Hotel Licensees whose only licensed premises in the precinct is a detached bottle shop
However, there remains provision for such a Licensee to be forced to join the local Board if it is deemed necessary to support the amenity of the local community.
