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.

Title: Risk-Based Licensing and Alcohol-Related Offences in the Australian Capital Territory

Summary: Since December 2010, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has calculated and set liquor licensing fees according to venue type, occupancy, and trading hours, a practice known as risk-based licensing (RBL). RBL was introduced in the ACT amid growing concerns about the prevalence of alcohol-related problems at licensed premises, increases in the proportion of assaults involving alcohol and increases in hospitalisations for alcohol-related injury. RBL aims to recover some of the policing and regulatory costs of alcohol-related offences with higher risk licensees required to contribute proportionally more to these costs by paying higher licensing fees. In 2012, the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety Inquiry into Liquor Licensing Fees and Subordinate Legislation reported that one year after the introduction of RBL in the ACT, alcohol-related offences had declined. However it was not clear to what degree alcohol-related offences had declined at licensed premises in entertainment precincts after midnight. Also, concerns persisted, particularly among licensees, that RBL disadvantaged some licensees and failed to address the contribution of off-trade licensees and pre-loading to alcohol-related harms. This study investigated the impacts of RBL on patterns of alcohol-related offences in the ACT and stakeholders' perceptions of its efficacy and limitations. It is the first study to attempt to evaluate the impacts of RBL on alcohol-related offences and to seek input from key stakeholders as to its efficacy and limitations.
