1 Introduction and background

1.1 This Public Interest Assessment (PIA) supports the application by Comedy Lounge Pty Ltd (ACN 111 156 935) for the conditional grant of a tavern restricted licence in respect of premises situated at level 1, 413 Murray Street, Perth to be known as Comedy Lounge.

1.2 This PIA addresses all relevant aspects of the public interest in accordance with both the Liquor ControlAct 1988 (WA) (Act) and the Department of Racing, Gaming & Liquor's policy 'Public Interest Assessment Pursuant to section 38 of the Liquor Control Act 1988' as last amended 11 January 2019 (PIA Policy). In accordance with the PIA Policy this application is regarded as "complex" and therefore, the sections of this PIA document reflect what is required under the PIA Policy1 for such applications.

1.3 This PIA is part of the Applicant's Case and should be read in conjunction with the other parts and supporting material, all of which is itemised in the document titled Index of Material Before the Director and Applicant's Case.

1.4 Where this document makes references to particular documentary material to support certain information and propositions, that material is cited by way of its document listing in the tables contained within the Index document (eg '(ooc1)').

1.5 The applicant seeks approval to establish a fabulous and unique licensed entertainment venue with regular and ongoing comedy performances accompanied by food and beverage services in a relaxed and modern venue designed specifically for the purpose as a genuine comedy lounge.

1.6 The Comedy Lounge will cater for up to 260 patrons and will offer ticketed live comedy shows, comedy competitions and festival events. Liquor is proposed to be available for consumption on the premises only (ie no take-away/packaged liquor) and without any obligation to consume the liquor with food or whilst seated. Some food will, however, be available. The premises will comprise a stage, seated lounge area and bar. VIP options and function services will be available. Additional particulars of the proposal are set out further on in this document.

Applicant's details and background

1. 7 The applicant is a private, family-owned Australian company based in Western Australia. The sole director and shareholder is Mr John McAllister who has a considerable background in the comedic entertainment industry. Mr McAllister lives locally in the Perth metropolitan area.

1.8 Included in the Applicant's Case is a detailed Business Plan (DOC 20) prepared by the applicant. It includes, amongst many other things, further details regarding the applicant's details and background and the background to this application.

1.9 The applicant entity has been operating since 2004 and has conducted a number of different live comedy events at various venues around Perth.

1.10 Mr McAllister has 20 years experience working in the comedy industry, which includes 13 years as a producer of comedy events. He also has a range of other business experience and is a dedicated and passionate proponent of the Comedy Lounge proposal which he has spent years developing. Mr McAllister will be assisted in the business by his wife, Jane McAllister, Brendan Maloney and Leticia Dick, all of whom are referred to in the Business Plan.

1.11 Comedy clubs/lounges have been operating around the world for many decades, although not in Perth unfortunately. In the 1940s well known American duo Jerry Lee Lewis and Dean Martin were famous for their live performances at supper club type venues. In more recent years highly acclaimed comedian turned actor Jerry Seinfeld promoted the concept of live comedy clubs and enhanced their popularity with the creation of his associated television series that has earned hundreds of millions of dollars. Comedy festivals and specialty shows have emerged around Australia in recent years including the popular annual Perth Comedy Festival. However, there is no dedicated, purposeful comedy club/lounge in Western Australia. The Comedy Lounge has now rectified that and has been an operating comedy club for almost two years now. 1.12 The applicant has been associated with many successful one-off comedy shows at differentvenues and festivals, some of which are illustrated by the promotional posters below: '.}-0 Eiil1v;:�

~~2.2 The area comprises mainly Perth and Northbridge. Parts of surrounding suburbs including West Perth, North Perth, Highgate and East Perth also fall within the boundary.~~

2.3 The Locality in this case is quite unique from any other in Western Australia because it is within the capital city. It is the centre for the State's business and government activity and it is a special area which warrants special treatment. This point is addressed further in the applicants' Legal Submissions (DOC 18).

~~2.4 The Locality enjoys a large and diverse range of land uses including government, civic, commercial, retail, residential, hospitality, tourism, entertainment and others.~~

~~2.5 In recent years Perth has been and continues to be, experiencing extraordinary growth, development and change. An eclectic range of significant infrastructure~~

2.6 Perth is rapidly maturing into a modern and popular capital city. Further details and particulars of these circumstances are contained elsewhere in this PIA. This PIA demonstrates how the Comedy Lounge proposal fits perfectly into this developing and maturing scene.

2.7 The Locality is a densely built up area, dominated by office towers and a variety of business houses. During the day in particular, the area is a bustling hub of activity with businesses trading, an enormous workforce operating and thousands of vehicles. Further details regarding the Locality demographics are provided further on in this PIA.

~~2.11 The Comedy Lounge will be situated close to Perth Arena which is the City's preeminent entertainment and event facility.~~

~~5 Ibid~~

4850-8114-4637_ 1153206, v.1 © Comedy Lounge 2019 6 Public Interest Assessment Comedy Lounge ---- • Some of the world's biggest names in music, sport and entertainment have already appeared at Perth Arena, a 15,500 seat multi-purpose arena which opened in 2012.

Since then, Perth Arena has been ranked at number 22 in the world's top 200 venues in a list compiled by music industry magazine Pollstar. A new plaza surrounding the arena will provide even more entertainment options, including new places to enjoy a drink or 6 meal before or after a show.

~~2.12 Comedy Lounge is also situated close to one of the State's most significant and exciting developments, namely Perth City Link.~~

Perth City Link is one of the city's most exciting redevelopments. The project will reconnect the CBD with Northbridge for the first time in more than 100 years. The area, once just a network of bus and train connections, will become an exciting new 7 destination with housing, shops, restaurants, offices and more.

2.13 Perth City Link is a mammoth City project. The enormous development connects the CBD with Northbridge and opens the whole city area. The State Government body responsible for this strategic project and many other major developments is the Metropolitan Region Authority (MRA). The MRA has been established specifically for the purpose of overseeing Perth's developments. The MRA published the following 8 regarding the Perth City Link :

~~Perth City Link will be a dynamic new destination that embraces the city's lifestyle and character and is an important part in the overall program to revitalise our city.~~

Running east-west across the heart of Perth's city centre, it will reconnect the CBD with Northbridge for the first time in 100 years, delivering improved access and connectivity and forming strong linkages to the foreshore.

The regeneration project is a collaboration between three tiers of government, led by State Government authorities - the MRA and the Public Transport Authority with the City of Perth and the Federal Government. The 13.5 hectare project is bounded by the Mitchell Freeway, Roe Street, Wellington Street and the Horseshoe Bridge. Framed also by busy roads, this area has become a physical barrier in the centre of the city.

This area will draw billions of investment dollars into Perth through a vibrant mix of new transit, commercial and retail zones, public spaces and living opportunities - and will impact everyone who visits the city - locals and tourists alike.

Perth City Link will play a key role in addressing transport and infrastructure issues while meeting the changing needs of an evolving city. Sinking the Wellington Street Bus Station and the Fremantle rail line, from Perth station to Lake Street, will prepare the site for redevelopment. Works to deliver the Perth City Link are well underway, with rail infrastructure works underway, Perth Arena under construction and works to prepare the first development sites underway.

~~The project's objectives are to:~~

~~• Provide a focus for public life, with the creation of an improved and new public realm.~~

~~• Create better connectivity and access to public transport.~~

~~• Assist in supporting the revitalisation of the Perth Cultural Centre .~~

~~• Capitalise on the potential transit-oriented development benefits by its direct relationship with major transit systems.~~

~~• Provide opportunity and support for private investment, to create wider spread economic benefits and drive the continued revitalisation of the city centre.~~

~~• Ensure that public investment is designed and implemented holistically to generate the improvement of social, economic, environmental and cultural conditions in the city centre.~~

~~• Provide housing with a diversity of dwelling types and sizes, and 10 to 15% affordable dwellings, to increase the opportunity for a variety of family types to live in the city centre.9~~

~~Situated in the middle of Perth City Link, King's Square will meld the atmospheres of Lake and King Streets to create the cosmopolitan heart of the city.~~

The new street connection will emphasise the pedestrian-friendly character of the area. East-west lanes and arcades will link to other key destinations. Bars, restaurants and late-closing shops will be scattered throughout.

Two landmark buildings will feature to the north and south of the Square, containing a mix of commercial and civic uses, such as a gallery or library. This, combined with the presence of boutiques, design studios and art galleries will create the ideal setting for fashion shows or food and wine festivals. 2.14 The Comedy Lounge is ideally positioned to complement and support the activities associated with Perth Arena and Perth City Link by providing unique and diverse hospitality services with entertainment.

2.15 The new venue will also be entirely consistent with the growth, development and modernising occurring in the City as Perth matures into a contemporary capital city. The Comedy Lounge will provide diversity and choice and a real cultural experience for the public on an ongoing and regular basis. The premises will enhance the evolving west end of the City which has little available.

~~3 Manner of trade~~

~~3.1 The manner of trade proposed is a most unique and exciting proposition for Perth.~~

~~3.2 The Comedy Lounge offers the public a variety of live comedic entertainment, in a cosy cabaret style environment with licensed food and beverage services.~~

3.3 Included in the Applicant's Case is a detailed and professionally prepared Business Plan (DOC 20) which sets out comprehensive details of what is proposed. The following sub-paragraphs highlight the key features.

Prices will vary depending on the nature of the acts lined up to perform and other factors.

~~3.5 The applicant's detailed Business Plan sets out the marketing plan and other aspects of the business development.~~

~~The premises and the floor plans~~

~~3.6 The Comedy Lounge will be situated upstairs at 413 Murray Street, Perth.~~

3.7 The applicant has worked closely with its designer and landlord to develop the floor plans, based on the considerable relevant experience of the applicant company's sole director.

~~3.8 The image above gives a good impression of operational aspects.~~

~~3.9 Patrons will access the premises via stairs or elevator.~~

~~3.1 O The 260 intended patron capacity will be easily accommodated.~~

~~3.11 The main public area will comprise some seating with tables and also room for people to stand if they wish.~~

~~3.12 The position of the bar provides a direct line of sight for staff working there to watch and observe patrons who will be facing towards the stage to the leftof the bar.~~

~~3.13 The simple open plan and configuration will enable a very good level of surveillance for the licensee and staff.~~

3.14 Whilst a reasonable amount of seating will be available, it is important that patrons not be forced to sit and have room to stand if they wish, to enjoy the entertainment as they feel comfortable. Also, from time to time some acts may require space beyond the designated stage to perform their routine. Flexibility in terms of the number, layout and type of chairs and tables available is required.

4850-8114-4637_ 1153206, v.1 © Comedy Lounge 2019 9 Public Interest Assessment --Comedy Lounge -- 3.15 Warm and inviting soft furnishings, fixtures and fittings have been installed to create a relaxing ambience that is comfortable and ideal for watching live comedy and socialising with others also enjoying the entertainment.

~~3.16 A VIP section has been established for special guests or group bookings.~~

3.17 Whilst some types of functions will be accommodated, this will be a fairly limited feature given the nature of the manner of trade. Large groups of potentially rowdy patrons, hen's nights, bucks party groups and similar will generally not be permitted.

~~Entertainment~~

~~3.18 A wide variety of comedic entertainment will be provided at the Comedy Lounge including stand-up comedians, musical comedy acts, improvisations, karaoke and "drag" shows.~~

~~3.19 Performers will be sourced locally, from interstate and occasionally from overseas.~~

~~3.20 Experienced and well known acts as well as newcomers to the industry will be engaged to appear at the Comedy Lounge.~~

3.21 As referred to above, a stage will be installed at the premises for the performers to use, although they will not be restricted to the stage and may utilise a wider area and will be free to walk through the audience

~~3.22 From time to time themed nights, talent shows, competitions and other special events will be conducted. Also, the Comedy Lounge will host festival events.~~

3.23 Entertainmentw ill be provided throughout almost all trading hours. Generally, one or two evening shows are conducted Wednesday to Saturday nights, with a break in between for performers to change over and patrons to refresh and socialise. Doors open an hour or so before the first performance and close approximately an hour after the last performer has finished.

~~3.24 Most performanceswill run for approximately 90 minutes.~~

~~3.25 A master of ceremonies will introduce acts and engage with the audience.~~

~~3.26 A matinee show is also contemplated for Fridays and Saturdays, including Karaoke.~~

~~Food and beverage services~~

~~3.27 The food and beverage services proposed are essential elements in the proposal, although very much ancillary and subsidiary to the entertainment.~~

~~3.28 The Comedy Lounge will certainly not be a traditional drinking establishment for crowds of groups of people to gather for long periods of vertical drinking.~~

~~3.29 Included in the Applicant's Case is a menu (DOC 19).~~

~~3.30 A modest but carefully selected range of food and drinks will be provided.~~

4850-8114-4637_ 1153206, v.1 © Comedy Lounge 2019 10 Public Interest Assessment Comedy Lounge ---- •· 3.31 Generally patrons order and collect their food and drinks from the bar, although some table service is provided as required.

~~Trading conditions~~

~~3.32 To confirm commitment to his proposal the applicant proposes the following special trading conditions to be endorsed on the licence if the licensing authority considers appropriate:~~

~~3.32.1 Food shall be made available at the premises at all times when open to the general public.~~

3.32.2 The licensee shall not promote or sell drinks which offer liquor by virtue of their 'emotive' titles such as, but not limited to, 'laybacks', 'shooters', 'slammers', 'test tubes' and 'blasters'.

~~3.32.3 Drink options that contain light and mid-strength alcohol content as well as a range of non-alcohol drinks shall be available for purchase at all times.~~

~~3.32.4 A CCTV video surveillance system that records continuous images throughout the premises including all entrance and exit points to the premises shall be installed.~~

~~3.32.5 Patrons are not permitted to wear jackets, other clothing or body markings which visibly bear patches or insignia of any known Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang.~~

3.33 Even although there will be a great deal of seating the applicant does not wish to be restricted such that patrons must be seated to drink at any time. For operational purposes, to have the ability to cater for any manner of performance and function and also so as to ensure convenience and flexibility for patrons to stand if they wish, such a restriction would not be appropriate for the Comedy Lounge.

3.34 The applicant seeks approval for the ongoing extended trading permit and ongoing hours from the original standard trading permit the Comedy Lounge has. Applicable under the Liquor Control Act (WA) 1988 in respect of tavern restricted licences, namely 6am to 12 midnight seven days a week, save for restricted trading on Good Friday, Anzac Day and Christmas Day. Although initially, the venue is intended to open from 7pm Wednesdays and 5pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Entertainment is intended from 6pm to 9pm and sometimes again from 10.30pm to 12 midnight when cabaret comedy style comedy is proposed. The Comedy Lounge would like to extend its trading hours to 1am on Saturdays and Sundays 4 mornings, as Friday and Saturday nights are doing really well. Closing time will either be around midnight or 1:00am depending on scheduled entertainment. 4.1 Section 5

~~4.2 In accordance with the PIA Policy in respect of "complex applications" such as this, the applicant has had regard for the matters outlined in section 5 of the Act.~~

Submissions addressing section 5 matters are contained throughout this PIA and also in more detail in the applicant's Legal Submissions (DOC 18). 4850-8114-4637_ 1153206, v.1 © Comedy Lounge 2019 11 Public Interest Assessment Comedy Lounge ---- •· 5 Harm or ill-health - section 38(4)(a)

5.1 The applicant has familiarised itself with harm and ill-health matters relevant to the determination of this application. It is acknowledged that the provision of liquor services into the community by the Comedy Lounge, has the capacity to affect people and that affect could potentially be greater for some.

~~"At risk" groups and sub-communities~~

5.2 The groups of people described as "at risk" in the PIA Policy because they are deemed to warrant priority care and consideration have been studied by the applicant in accordance with the PIA Policy. Those relevant to the Locality have been sought to be identified and are referred to in the following sub-paragraphs.

5.3 The following statistics obtained from the 2011 Census 10 identify "at risk" groups residing in Perth and Northbridge, compared and contrasted with averages for the whole State so as to put the Locality information into context.

~~(b) No formal statistical information could be found to identify itinerant workers in the Locality, however, it is presumed that some would be working in the area.~~

~~5.5.4 In regard to "communities that experience high tourist numbers" referred to in the PIA Policy:~~

(a) The Locality does indeed experience high tourist numbers. The Locality is well known to the licensing authority as a tourist area. Tourists will benefit greatly from the hospitality, culture and uniquely local experience that Comedy Lounge provides.

~~(b) Western Australia hosted 23.2 million visitors in the year ended June 2014 of which 62% visited Perth14 .~~

(c) The following table obtained from TourismWA shows that between 2011 and 2013 inner Perth experienced nearly 1.7 million visitors in each of those years and those people stayed an 15 average of 7 .3 nights :

However, the comedy venue cater s excellently for tourists and provide for their requirements. Further, it is essential that the needs of tourists are catered for. This point is addressed further in the accompanying Legal Submissions (DOC 18).

The venue is a low risk operation which will be comfortable and safe for tourists 5.5.6 and will not put them at risk. The supply of liquor at Comedy Lounge is also ancillary to the comedy being performed and the theme and atmosphere of the humorous atmosphere which is otherwise not available anywhere in the city.

~~"With Perth experiencing strong growth in tourism, it is the ideal time for new and 17 unique operators to establish their presence in the capital city" . 5.5.7~~

~~5.5.8 Relevantly, the Experience Perth arm of Tourism WA has publicly promoted the 2019 Perth Comedy Festival on its website, referencing the Comedy Lounge.18~~

5.6 There is nothing that arises out of the information provided in the sub-paragraphs above to indicate any particularly sensitive or overly vulnerable "at risk" group or any other concerning factor in this case. The Comedy Lounge provides a wonderful experience for all manner of person to enjoy.

~~Social health indicators~~

5.7 The PIA Policy states that social health indicators such as alcohol related crime in an area and the rates of and trends in, alcohol related hospital admissions, are relevant considerations for the licensing authority to take into account when assessing whether a liquor licence is warranted. The following sub-paragraphs address these and other matters relevant to indicating the social health of the Locality in this case.

5.8 In accordance with the PIA Policy, the applicant has considered the social health of the Perth community within the Locality. As is referred to further on in this PIA, it is submitted that the Comedy Lounge will in fact generate positive health in the community through the provision of laughter which has been described as "best medicine".

5.9 It is acknowledged that the Locality does experience crime and alcohol-related incidents. Whilst this history is, in itself a negative factor in this case, it is not an inhibiting factor for the grant of the licence. Indeed there are multiple positive factors in this case and there is evidence of improvement in the crime and alcohol-related incidents in the Locality.

~~5.11 The applicant has considered data published by the Western Australian Health Department on alcohol-related health matters19 and identified the following:~~

5.11.1 In relation to alcohol related deaths for the relevant region, being the northern metropolitan area, "[o]verall, the total death rate for 'all alcohol related conditions' for all persons was significantly lower (0.89 times) than the corresponding State rate".20

~~5.11.2 In respect to alcohol related hospitalisations:~~

Alcohol-related hospitalisations, Perth (C)-lnner & Perth (C)-Remainder, 2007- 2011 The total rate of alcohol-related hospitalisations in Perth (Inner & Remainder) for the period from 2007-2011 was significantly higher (1.18 times) than the corresponding State rate. The rate for males was also significantly higher (1.23 times) though the rate for females was similar to the corresponding State rate.

~~The age-specific rates of alcohol-related hospitalisations were significantly higher amongst males (1,041.1 per 100,000 person years) than females (648.8 per 100,000 person years).~~

For the period from 2007-2011, Perth (Inner & Remainder) residents were hospitalised a total of 743 times for conditions related to alcohol. They consumed 4,333 beddays (52.8 1,000 persons per year on average) at an approximate cost of $4,384,460 ($53.38 per capita per year on average).

Table 20. Alcohol-related hospitalisations, Perth (C) Inner & Perth (C) Remainder, 2007-2011 Beddaysf Cost($) 95%CI Beddays 1,000 Cost ($) per Gender ASR forSRR capita capita 943.3-1, 138.9 3,097 67.0 3,260,990 70.51 1,236 34.4 1,123,470 31.31 4,333 52.8 4,384,460 53.38 denotes slanlflcantlv hlaher than the correspondlna State population 2f

5.12 Despite the higher than average rate of alcohol-related hospitalisations, the Comedy Lounge providing a liquor service in the manner proposed is unlikely to have any noticeable effect, if any at all, on the statistics because of its low risk features. Liquor will be ancillary to the core business of live comedy.

5.13 Crime rates are another indicator of the social health of an area. The following statistics obtained from WA Police provide evidence of the crime rates in Perth and Northbridge for the last two years, which have decreased:

5.14 The tables above indicate that the Locality has an existing level of crime, which the applicant is conscious of. The western end of the City, where the Comedy Lounge is situated is not well known as being especially prone to crime and does not have an unusually high or problematic crime rate as far as the applicants are aware.

~~24 https://www.police.wa.qov.au/Crime/Crime-Statistics- Portal/Statistics?loca lity=Northbridqe&star!Year-2016&star!Month= 1 &endYear=2016&endMonth= 12~~

4850-8114-4637_ 1153206, v.1 © Comedy Lounge 2019 19 Public Interest Assessment Comedy Lounge ---- 5.15 The applicant is keen to ensure that the sale and supply of liquor at the Comedy Lounge will not lead to incidents resulting in any crimes or other problems such as anti-social behaviour. The SafeCity initiative through the joint efforts of the City of Perth and WA Police has been considered in terms of the publication which is included in the Applicant's Case (DOC 25). One of the areas identified to be addressed to improve safety, as is identified in the publications, is the need to activate the City after usual office business hours. The Comedy Lounge will certainly do this and provide a high level of responsible activity and surveillance to assist in this regard.

5.16 Criminals are unlikely to be attracted to and criminal behaviour and crime generally are unlikely to be generated by, the operation of the Comedy Lounge given its low key, placid and friendly modus operandi. Further, the premises will not be situated at street level, providing impulsive opportunity for would-be criminal or anti-social activity. Also, the fact patrons need to pay to enter the venue will reduce the risk of trouble-makers attending purely to cause problems or without proper intentions.

~~Strategies to be implemented to minimise harm or ill-health~~

5.17 The applicant proposes to apply a variety of strategies to the business for the purpose of minimising potential harm or ill-health within the Locality as a result of liquor being sold and supplied at the Comedy Lounge.

~~5.18 The very nature of the operation proposed, centred around live comedy, will of itself help to minimise harm and ill-health. This proposition is based on the following:~~

Sure, it's fun to share a good laugh. But did you know it can actually improve your health? It's true: laughter is strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. By seeking out more opportunities for humor and laughter, though, you can improve your emotional health, strengthen your relationships, find greater happiness-and even add years to your life26

~~5.19 Further," ... laughter and humour are therapeutic allies in healing ... laughter is a sound prescription as a wonderful way to enhance health".27~~

~~5.20 The strategies and factors include the following:~~

5.20.1 The proposed trading conditions volunteered by the applicant will ensure the venue is operated in such a way so as to minimise the potential for any harm or ill-health to occur. The applicant's proposed conditions are set out earlier on in this PIA. Those conditions will clearly minimise the potential for harm or ill-health to occur and generally ensure a well controlled low risk operation.

~~Introduction~~

The public interest test is based on the principle that licensed premises must operate within the interests of the local community. The Butterworth’s Australian Legal Dictionary defines the term “public interest” as:

~~“an interest in common to the public at large or a significant portion of the public and which may, or may not involve the personal or propriety rights of individual people”~~

The public interest provisions enable the licensing authority to consider a broad range of issues specific to each licence or permit application, and flexibility exists to assess each individual application on its merits.

Each community is different and has individual characteristics. Similarly, each licensee’s business or proposed manner of trade is unique to the particular premises. A Public Interest Assessment (PIA) outlines how the premises/proposed premises will impact the community and provide an outline of how the applicant will manage any impact.

~~Section 31 of the Liquor Control Act 1988 (‘the Act’) provides the licensing authority with the discretion to grant licences.~~

Under section 33(1) ‘the licensing authority has an absolute discretion to grant or refuse an application on any grounds, or for any reason, that the licensing authority considers in the public interest.’

~~In considering the public interest, the licensing authority will take into account the objects of the Act as provided in section 5 and the matters set out in section 38(4).~~

~~In this regard, applicants will be required to lodge a PIA with the application.~~

~~Legislative Provisions~~

The primary objects of the Act as set out in section 5 are: a) to regulate the sale, supply and consumption of liquor; b) to minimise harm or ill-health caused to people, or any group of people, due to the use of liquor; and c) to cater for the requirements of consumers for liquor and related services, with regard to the proper development of the liquor industry, the tourism industry and other hospitality industries in the State.

The secondary objects of the Act are: a) to facilitate the use and development of licensed facilities, including their use and development for the performance of live original music, reflecting the diversity of the requirements of consumers in the State; b) to provide adequate controls over, and over the persons directly or indirectly involved in, the sale, disposal and consumption of liquor; and c) to provide a flexible system, with as little formality or technicality as may be practicable, for the administration of this Act. d) to encourage responsible attitudes and practices towards the promotion, sale, supply, service and consumption of liquor that are consistent with the interests of the community.

Section 38(4) of the Act provides that the matters the licensing authority may have regard to in determining whether the granting of an application is in the public interest include: a) the harm or ill-health that might be caused to people, or any group of people, due to the use of liquor; b) the impact on the amenity of the locality in which the licensed premises, or proposed licensed premises are, or are to be, situated; c) whether offence, annoyance, disturbance or inconvenience might be caused to people who reside or work in the vicinity of the licensed premises or proposed licensed premises; and d) any other prescribed matter. (Please note: there are no prescribed requirements at this time).

The licensing authority has discretion to impose conditions on the licence or permit that has regard to the public interest, the objects of the Act and the information provided in the applicant’s PIA submission. Conditions may also be imposed based on the content of the PIA submission. Form 2A Page 2

~~Form 2A~~

In considering the public interest, applicants should demonstrate the positive aspects of their application including the social, economic and health impacts. It is not sufficient for applicants to merely demonstrate that the grant of the application will not have any negative impact.

~~Locality~~

~~As part of a PIA submission, applicants must provide details regarding the community in the vicinity of the licensed premises (or proposed licensed premises) and any amenity issues in the locality.~~

The term ‘locality’ in this instance refers to the area surrounding the proposed licensed premises. This locality will be the area most likely to be affected by the granting of an application in relation to amenity issues.

~~However, in terms of potential harm or ill-health impacts on the community an applicant may need to consider a wider geographic area depending on the intended nature of the business.~~

In this regard, in terms of addressing objects 5(1)(b) and 5(1)(c) of the Act, an applicant may need to consider an area which is much broader than the ‘locality’ used for consideration of amenity issues. For example, an application for a destination liquor store, which may draw its clientele from a large geographic area, would need to address 5(1)(b) and 5(1)(c) of the Act in a much broader context. The onus is on the applicant to satisfy the licensing authority that the grant of the application is in the public interest and provide relevant evidence and submissions to discharge this onus. An applicant should address all relevant considerations under the Act, bearing in mind all the circumstances and unique features of its particular application.

~~Licensing Authority’s Expectations for a PIA~~

Completing the PIA should be part of an applicant’s business planning. A PIA assists the licensing authority in assessing the impact of the application, if granted, on the community, including existing services and amenity. It is also a valuable document for informing the community about the proposed manner of trade. It is important to note that there is no requirement in the Act for PIAs to be prepared by legal counsel or industry consultants. Applicants can complete their own PIA by taking a common-sense approach after liaising with the relevant key stakeholders and interest groups in the community.

Evidence to support an application being in the public interest should include, but is not limited to petitions; survey results; and letters of support and statements of consumers having a requirement for the type of liquor to be sold and supplied under the licence sought.

It is important to note, however, that because each community is different, the level of detail required in a PIA will be different for individual applications. The required level of detail is subject to the complexity of the application and the impact the premises/proposed premises will have on the surrounding community.

~~The following questions have been developed to guide applicants through the PIA process and highlight the areas which should be considered.~~

~~The information provided should not be limited to the space provided on the form. If you need to attach additional information, please refer to the relevant attachment in the space provided.~~

In addressing social health indicators, applicants should also consider the proximity of the premises to bordering suburbs. In terms of addressing objects 5(1)(b) and 5(1)(c) of the Act, an applicant may need to consider an area which is much broader than the ‘locality’ used for consideration of amenity issues.
