Fitzroy Valley Liquor Restriction Report |
 |
|
On 27 September 2007, the Director of Liquor Licensing released his decision on restricting the sale of packaged liquor in Fitzroy Crossing. It was his finding that as of 2 October 2007, the following restriction would be in place for six months:
The sale of packaged liquor, exceeding a concentration of ethanol in liquor of 2.7 per cent at 20 degrees Celsius, is prohibited to any person, other than a lodger (as defined in Section 3 of the Act).
On 19 May 2008 the Director of Liquor Licensing extended the restriction indefinitely with an annual review to test its ongoing effectiveness.
There have been three reports on the impact of the liquor restrictions in Fitzroy Crossing.
