Liquor licensing
Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (18:08): (1805) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation. The government recently announced an extension to liquor licensing reforms that slash red tape and fees for licensed venues to attempt to stimulate businesses trying to recover from multiple lockdowns. They have announced that this will be extended to December 2022. However, business owners may be hesitant to invest in infrastructure or business opportunities from these changes given that they have an end date. Minister, to capitalise on the growth opportunity that our state clearly needs, will you commit to making these liquor licensing reforms permanent?
