Liquor Licensing
The Queensland Government has announced the extension of a measure relating to the sale of alcohol introduced in response to COVID-19.
The government has announced they plan to make rules allowing restaurants to sell takeaway wines permanent.
Licensed restaurants that also offer on-premises dining will be allowed to sell takeaway or delivery wine, with a maximum limit of 1.5 litres of wine – or two bottles – sold with a meal between 10am and 10pm.
These rules are set to become permanent.
In order to comply the alcohol will only be allowed to be sold if accompanied by a “substantial meal”. They are excluding things like snacks and we will wait and see if any further clarification is provided on what constitutes a substantial meal. Is a large serve of chips a meal or a snack.
Since the alcohol can be supplied for both takeaway and delivery orders, businesses have to have procedures in place to ensure the identification of online customers to prevent alcohol from being sold to minors.
For restaurants with an existing liquor licence the fee for a permanent takeaway liquor license condition will be waived until June 30, 2022.

We, a group of moteliers in Roma engaged RG Strategic for a complex town planning matter that required reviewing of past approvals and Council reports. RG Strategic provided us with a clear and detailed proposal on the strategy to undertake the review. From the time they were engaged, their Director Russell Green took personal action to engage with us and keep us informed at each step. RG Strategic were professional in their manner, keeping open the channels of communication, along with breaking down the town planner speak so we could understand all of the reports. Professional, engaging, and delivering results on time, we couldn’t have asked for more, We highly recommend for professional town planning advice, Russell and his team at RG Strategic.

Russell and his team at RG Strategic are the epitome of professionalism. I have, on several occasions, required Town planning and development advice both for myself and clients, Russell always provides advice in a succinct and timely manner. His ability to see outside the box, particularly where there may be potential grey areas, his extensive knowledge, understanding of council requirements and determination to do the best for his clients make him an extremely valuable resource. I have no hesitation in referring clients to RG Strategic, knowing they will always be well looked after. Russell thank you, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
