    • Abstract:
      As in many countries, the number of places selling alcohol in Australia has increased dramatically over the last three decades [1]. Planning permit decisions are subject to appeal, and restrictive permit decisions are frequently overturned [3]. In determining licence applications, the Commission is required to regard both the Act's objects and the two grounds for refusing a licence (detrimental amenity impacts and encouraging the misuse or abuse of alcohol). Furthermore, legislation should be reformed so that the onus is on the liquor licence applicant, rather than objectors, to provide relevant evidence that the new licence will be in the public interest.
