New rules for SA pubs and clubs

NEW lock-out laws to cut alcohol-fuelled violence around pubs and clubs in Adelaide will take effect from Tuesday.

The new provisions prevent patrons from entering venues after 3am (CST) and anyone who leaves a pub or club after that time will be prevented from re-entering.

The new provisions allow for greater use of metal detectors and video cameras, provide for an early morning ban on drink promotions such as free drinks, shooters and doubles and restrict the use of glass for serving drinks.

Liquor and Gambling Commissioner Paul White said the new code aimed to curb alcohol-related incidents of abuse and violence through a range of management practices and the prevention of early-morning bar hopping.

There will be a four-week educational period for pubs and clubs, when breaches of the code will be met with warnings, and to allow for staff training, the installation of closed-circuit cameras and the purchase of plastic drink containers.

The changes have been opposed by some venues with a group unsuccessfully taking their case against the measures to the South Australian Supreme Court last week.

Also coming into force in October are new rules over the sale of alcohol in Coober Pedy in SA's mid-north.

Takeaway sales of cask wine will be banned while sales of wine and spirits will be limited to one bottle per person, per day.

Takeaway sales of all alcohol will also be banned to anyone from defined prescribed lands, including the Umoona Community, Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands and other Aboriginal lands in SA, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

Police say the new regulations have been introduced in a bid to curb alcohol-related violence and anti-social behaviour in the area.
