Long-awaited details on freeze released

Shortly before midnight on Thursday 3 September 2009 the Liquor Amendment (Temporary Licence Freeze) Bill 2009 was introduced into the lower house and agreed in principle.

The Bill provides important details that have been eagerly anticipated since the announcement of the freeze on the grant of new liquor licences was made in June.

As predicted in our June update ( click here) the freeze is retrospective, and will apply to applications made on or after 25 June 2009. At this stage, the freeze will end on 24 June 2010 (but may be extended). The freeze will also extend beyond preventing merely the grant of new licences and will also prevent the grant of other types of licence applications for existing approved premises, and development applications, as explained below.
