Hi there
Re:74 Glengala Rd, permit/liquor license
Having a licensed premise in the middle of the shopping strip could be a concern. Sunshine Social (20 metres away) already serves alcohol & plays music in breach of it's license conditions every weekend. (So much for conditions & amenity)
I'm fine with a BYO license - people can bring their own wine or ouzo. After 2 years, go for an upgraded license if there's no issues.
But will a restaurant liquor license include the seating outside the shop front?
Will it include the backyard?
Will the entrance to the unit above the premises be through the redline area? How exactly can a resident take alcohol into their own residence if the staircase is in the middle of the backyard?
Will there be a smoking area in the backyard? Don't they serve food currently in the backyard?
The only place they could smoke & drink is out the back lane way or out the front of the shop. If it's illegal to consume alcohol in public in the Brimbank Council, how will this be controlled? The shop is very small
Finally, I'm not opposed to licensing per se. But a great outcome would be consumption of alcohol & playing of music inside the premises only. Otherwise it could get out of control
