Earlier this year, the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (the Authority) updated Guideline 16, which governs the way in which it assesses applications that increase access to post-midnight gaming. The Guideline formerly applied to any application that, if approved, would result in increased availability of gaming machines after 12 midnight at a venue located in a Band 3 SA2, or after 2am at any venue. Now, it applies to any application that, if approved, would result in increased availability of EGMs after 12 midnight at any venue.
The Vibrancy Reform package passed by NSW Parliament in December 2023 include diverse changes applicable to many types of licensed businesses, with many gradually coming into effect throughout 2024. Licenced businesses can expect these changes to wholistically deliver a more favourable regulatory environment which creates greater operational certainty, particularly for those providing live music or special events.
The temporary provisions introduced during COVID-19 regarding approval for outdoor dining have been made permanent under the State Government’s recent Vibrancy Reform package. This means that the previously approved area will continue to be licensed while the land use remains an exempt development. However, businesses should note that any changes to the outdoor dining area require a new application to be lodged with Liquor & Gaming NSW.
