I object to the proposed liquor licence variation. Liquor licensing in this already condensed area is excessive and poorly monitored, resulting in serious impacts on resident amenity and public safety. Alcohol-related harm in the precinct is well documented, including a recent violent stabbing near The Emerson nightclub, as reported by 9News (https://amp.9news.com.au/article/b0c5ee01-685e-4f74-9fdb-753ae790e827 (https://amp.9news.com.au/article/b0c5ee01-685e-4f74-9fdb-753ae790e827?utm_source=chatgpt.com)). This incident demonstrates the real and ongoing risks associated with further expansion of liquor availability in the area. Approving this variation would exacerbate existing harm and undermine community safety and liveability.
