An example of the consequences of serving alcohol to minors, or allowing minors to consume alcohol on your premises, has been highlighted by an incident which resulted in the suspension of one licensee’s liquor licence after minors were found by police drinking in an outside area.
The OLGR took the opportunity to warn licensees about the importance of checking IDs when serving alcohol to ensure minors aren’t being served.
The Palbok BBQ Pty Ltd, trading as Palbok House, has been fined $2200 and had its liquor licence suspended for 21 days.
To avoid similar serious consequences ensure all employees have completed Responsible Service of Alcohol training.
