Title: An Evaluation of the Katherine Alcohol Management Plan and Liquor Supply Plan

Summary: This report is an evaluation of the Katherine Alcohol Management Plan (AMP): a set of measures developed initially by the Katherine Region Harmony Group and given official endorsement in November 2007 by the NT Licensing Commission when it approved an application by Katherine Town Council to have the town of Katherine declared a ‘Dry Zone’ – that is, an area in which public consumption of alcohol was prohibited. The Dry Zone declaration took effect on 21 January 2008. While no such formal commencement date applies to any of the other measures that make up the AMP, we have taken this date as marking the commencement of AMP implementation for evaluation purposes. The evaluation was conducted by a team from the Menzies School of Health Research for the NT Department of Justice. The evaluation methodology used is outlined in Section 3 of this report. Section 4 outlines the social and historical context in which the Katherine AMP evolved. Section 5 is a ‘process evaluation’, describing steps taken to implement the AMP. This is followed (Section 6) by an analysis of outcomes – using indicators of alcohol-related harm – that followed implementation of the AMP. Section 7 presents findings from a survey conducted to gauge the extent of support for, or opposition to, the AMP in Katherine, while Section 8 presents our conclusions and recommendations.

Title: Managing Alcohol in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory: An Evaluation of the Tennant Creek Alcohol Management Plan and Related Measures to Reduce Alcohol-Related Problems

Summary: This report documents the implementation of two sets of measures taken to address alcohol problems in the town of Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, and assesses the impact of both sets of measures. The first is an Alcohol Management Plan (AMP) which took effect from August 2008 and which remains in place at the time of writing this report (May 2010). The second consists of changes to the licence conditions governing liquor outlets in Tennant Creek which were imposed two years prior to commencement of the AMP, in July 2006. Central to these changes was the revocation of a ban on takeaway sales from major outlets, widely known as ‘Thirsty Thursday’, which had been in place since the mid-1990s.
