Liquor & Gaming NSW compliance officers have headed to the snowfields to help venues prepare for the opening of the snow season this weekend.

They will work with licensed venues around the Snowy Monaro region to help ensure visitors stay safe while relaxing when off the snow fields.

Liquor & Gaming NSW Executive Director Regulatory Operations Jane Lin said venues were sent an industry alert recently, to remind them of the need to prioritise the safe and responsible service of alcohol during the snow season.

“This pre-season visit by our inspectors aims to help venues and their staff understand their responsibilities under Responsible Service of Alcohol requirements to ensure they have a successful season while keeping their patrons safe,” she said.

“The NSW ski fields attract thousands of visitors each year, and we want to ensure that people stay safe when relaxing or partying in a licensed venue after a day on the slopes.”

Venues should ensure that:

alcohol is served responsibly
procedures are in place to prevent minors being served alcohol
there is an emphasis on crowd control
any promotions offered do not encourage the rapid consumption of alcohol or irresponsible drinking more generally.

Permitting intoxication on a licensed premises or supplying liquor to intoxicated persons or to minors are some of the most serious offences under the Liquor Act 2007, and carry penalties of up to $11,000, 12 months’ imprisonment, or both.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
