Have Your Say on the Lockout Laws

Trade are being invited to have their say on the review of the lockout laws.

The review is being led by former High Court Justice, the Hon. Ian Callinan AC QC, and will assess the effectiveness of the 1.30am lockouts and 3am last drinks legislation that applies in Kings Cross and Sydney CBD precincts, while also looking at the state-wide 10pm restriction of take away liquor sales. The review will also examine the periodic licensing fee system for NSW licensed venues.

“The Callinan Review will provide an independent, open and transparent assessment of the state’s liquor laws, focusing on the facts to advise the NSW Government on the future of these laws in NSW”, Mr Grant said.

“Hearing from the public and all interested stakeholders will be a crucial component of the Callinan Review and I encourage anyone who has a view to express it in writing.”

This will be an independent and evidence-based review, based on people’s experience of the lockout laws in Sydney. Feedback is being received via email: [email protected] and post: Liquor Law Review Team, GPO Box 7060, Sydney NSW 2001.
