EDITOR’S DROP
The coming months offer a great opportunity to take advantage of
the milder weather and visit thriving outback towns such as Coober
Pedy.
Known as the ‘opal capital of the world’, Coober Pedy attracts thousands
of visitors to its array of underground and above ground licensed
premises. Many of the town’s licensees are members of the Coober Pedy
Liquor Licensing Accord, which is actively involved in helping to minimise
alcohol-related problems in the community.
June, July and August is also the perfect time to journey to regional
SA and taste the variety of local wine and food on offer (responsibly of
course). In true South Aussie fashion, there are plenty of events to attend
– the South Australian Country Music Festival and Awards, Barossa
Gourmet Weekend, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, McLaren Vale Sea and
Vines Festival and South Australian Living Artists Festival, to name a few.
An increasing number of SA sporting clubs are joining the Good Sports
program, with many receiving their Level 2 accreditation. Good Sports is
offering Responsible Service of Alcohol training for registered clubs over
the coming months.
Updates for licensees about SA’s new non-smoking laws, DASSA’s
guidelines to staging safe dance events, Transport SA’s ‘After Midnight’
bus service, recent Licensing Court decisions - including a landmark case,
and Hospitality First Responder Training are also included in this edition.
I hope this month’s Licensee Update provides valuable and interesting
information, however, suggestions and feedback are always welcome.

HOSPITALITY FIRST RESPONDER TRAINING
GAINING MOMENTUM
Up to 450 participants
from 41 different hospitality
venues have attended the
Hospitality First Responder
Training course since its
launch last July.
The course helps staff in
licensed venues to recognise
drug and alcohol-related
emergencies and prepare them
with the knowledge needed to
act quickly and effectively.
Developed by the SA
Ambulance Service in
conjunction with Drug and
Alcohol Services SA (DASSA)
and the hospitality sector, the
training enables staff to make
an appropriate fi rst response
to patrons of licensed venues
who experience a medical
emergency due to alcohol and/
or other drug use, trauma or
collapse.
Drug overdose is the
most common reason why
ambulances are called to
licensed venues.
SA Ambulance Medical
Director Dr Hugh Grantham
said, “It is really important to
give people the course that
meets their needs and worries.
This (course) focuses on the
bits that count in real life in a
club or bar.”
Training is held at licensed
premises, ensuring the course
is interactive and focused on
the real medical emergency
challenges each premises
may face. Attendees learn how
to respond to emergencies
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister Gail Gago (above) says the
course is a “vital skill for anyone working in the hospitality industry”.
within their own working
environments.
Training providers have
received very positive
feedback from venues and
attendees participating in the
course including:
“Easy to follow…”
“Great learning first aid
that was made to suit our
hotel…”
“Fun and simple…”
“Having the confidence to
do something rather than
nothing…”
In a recent statement, Mental

Health and Substance Abuse
Minister Gail Gago said
the course is a “vital skill
for anyone working in the
hospitality industry”.
“Quick responses to drug
related emergencies can
save lives, so it is vital staff
in licensed venues are able
to gain the knowledge and
confi dence to deal with
life-threatening situations
effectively,” Minister Gago said.

TACKLING AUSTRALIA’S ALCOHOL-RELATED
PROBLEMS
World Vision Australia
CEO Tim Costello and
Senator Andrew Murray
were among the speakers
at a recent conference
aimed at tackling Australia’s
alcohol-related problems.
Offi ce of the Liquor and
Gambling Commissioner
(OLGC) representatives, Josie
Manto and Vicki Brunello
(pictured right), were among
more than 300 delegates who
attended the Thinking Drinking
II: From Problems to Solutions
conference. Held in Melbourne
from February 26 to 28, the
conference sought to identify
and advance solutions rather
than continue to describe
alcohol-related problems.
A major theme of the
conference was the need
for public health advocates
to establish a limited set of
demands, argue for them
consistently and support those
demands with a rational case
based on sound evidence.
According to speakers at the
conference, advocates need
to show strong community
support for harm minimisation
policies.
Tim Costello says
Australia’s alcoholrelated
problems,
currently estimated at
$7.6 billion annually, is
underestimated.
A distinction was drawn
between the campaign against
alcohol-related problems and
the campaign against smoking.
The anti-smoking campaign
became effective when its
advocates agreed on a course
of action and presented a
unifi ed front. As a result the
public was presented with a
consistent, well argued and
coherent message.
Lobbyist Gabriel McDowell
suggested “alcohol-fuelled
violence” and the “legal
system’s acceptance of
intoxication as mitigation of
crime”, as alcohol-related
issues which may engage the
community.
The cost of Australia’s alcoholrelated
problems is currently
estimated at $7.6 billion
annually. According to Mr
Costello, the true cost is likely
to be much greater. He said
the community and politicians
need to understand the full
economic cost in order to act.
Mr Costello also suggested the
public health sector call on the
Productivity Commission for a

comprehensive analysis of the
full economic cost of alcohol
abuse in Australia.
Slater and Gordon Partner
Peter Gordon told delegates
that consumers may
soon be able to take legal
action against alcohol
manufacturers and retailers
who fail to maintain a ‘duty
of care’ towards consumers.
Mr Gordon said this would be
a powerful way of determining
a community standard for
alcohol-related behavioural
problems.
The inaugural Thinking
Drinking conference, hosted
by the Australian Drug
Foundation, was held in
Melbourne in 2005.
www.olgc.sa.gov.au Winter 2007 Licensee Update Page 5

Effective from November 1 2007, all
enclosed areas in licensed premises must
be 100 per cent non-smoking. Licensees
will be legally obliged to ensure patrons
do not smoke in any enclosed areas within
their premises. This can be done by:
• Prominently displaying signs that contain the
phrase “no-smoking”, “smoking prohibited”
or “smoke-free zone” in positions likely
to be seen by persons in the premises.
Appropriate signage can be supplied to you
free of charge by the Department of Health.
• Not providing ashtrays or anything else
designed to facilitate smoking.
• Providing regular training to all staff about
no-smoking laws and having procedures for
dealing with patrons who smoke in enclosed
areas.
Under Section 45 of the Tobacco Products
Regulation Act, businesses must not display
signs or engage in a practice of any kind
designed to promote a business as welcoming
or permitting smoking on its premises.
Many hotels and clubs have outdoor areas
(such as verandas or courtyards) where patrons
are currently able to smoke. The dimensions
of these spaces or the use of structures such
as plastic blinds, shade sails or umbrellas may
cause these areas to be considered enclosed.
If an area is considered enclosed then smoking
will not be permitted. To be unenclosed, at
least 30 per cent of an area must be open. An
area without a ceiling or roof will be considered
unenclosed.
Meals may still be provided in unenclosed
dining areas where smoking is permitted.
An information brochure is available from the
Department of Health to assist licensees to
calculate the enclosed or unenclosed areas of
their premises.
For more information about the non-smoking
laws, or to order signage, visit
www.tobaccolaws.sa.gov.au or telephone the
Department of Health Info line on 1300 363 703.

SAFETY KEY TO DANCE PARTIES
As part of a DASSA
initiative, guidelines on
how to stage a safe dance
party are now available for
licensees.
DASSA hopes the guidelines,
which provide a general
overview of the key points to
consider when organising and
conducting a dance party, will
lead to safer dance events.
Night Train Entertainment
Complex and Viva Function
Centre (Night Train) is among
the licensed premises utilising
the guidelines.
OLGC recently spoke to Night
Train’s Complex Manager
Lauren Sobels, who says
safety is the key to the success
of the venue’s popular dance
parties.
Mrs Sobels says Night Train’s
dance events, which are strictly
for persons aged 18 years
and older, are attracting larger
crowds.
“Dance parties are defi nitely
well-known to be a place
where everybody is safe and
happy, so I think that is why
they are so popular,” she says.
DASSA’s Dance Party
Guidelines are a “Bible” for
Night Train staff involved in
staging such events, according
to Mrs Sobels.
She says the venue employs
reputable security and
promotion agencies to help
plan and manage its dance
parties.
“We work closely with a
number of big promoters who
we prefer to use because they
take public safety seriously,”
Mrs Sobels says.
Night Train also uses initiatives
such as the Australian Red
Cross ‘Save-A-Mate’ program.
Mrs Sobels says some of the
procedures the venue follows
when it is staging a dance
event include:
• Meeting with promoters to
ensure they are fully aware
of the guidelines that are in
place.
• Organising security.
• Alerting authorities –
experienced promoters will
automatically do this.
• Discussing the emergency
exit strategy, venue capacity
and crowd management,
availability of extra water,
etc.
• Security briefi ng with
management, supervisors
and security staff.
- Jessica Seidel photo
Night Train holds dance
parties, also commonly known
as ‘raves’, around four times a
year.
“We try to have lots of different
dance genres,” Mrs Sobels
says.
“Because we are such a big
venue (approximate capacity
of 900 people), we can set up
different arenas… we use both
levels or only open up one
level.”
For more information on how
to stage a safe dance event

Guidelines.pdf.

CROWD CONTROLLERS SUSPENDED
Up to 50 crowd controllers have had their
security licences suspended since reforms
to the Security and Investigation Agents Act
1995 were introduced in December 2005.
About 32 of these suspensions are related
to assault or offences of violence.
Under the new laws, mandatory suspensions
are now imposed on crowd controllers who are
charged with offences relating to drugs, fi rearms
or violence.
The suspensions include:
• One security agent charged with assault
occasioning actual bodily harm for allegedly
attacking a woman with a baseball bat after
an argument.
• Another allegedly assaulted his daughter and
threatened his wife.
• Another security agent has been suspended
for two counts of assault and one count of
resisting arrest. The agent was not on duty
as a security agent at the time.
• A crowd controller was in an intoxicated and
extremely aggressive state when he was
charged with assaulting a police offi cer and
resisting arrest.
• A crowd controller has been suspended
due to a charge of assault occasioning
actual bodily harm. The man allegedly got
into a heated argument with a person he
had refused entry to. The crowd controller
knocked the person unconscious with a
punch to the side of the head.
As a result of the reforms, South Australia
Police (SAPOL) is continuing random drug and
alcohol testing of crowd controllers.
The latest fi gures show that SAPOL has
conducted 196 random drug tests and 1145
alcohol tests on crowd controllers and security
licence holders to date. These tests have
produced fi ve positive alcohol test results and
32 positive drug test results. Of those selected
to undertake drug testing, 13 people did not
keep their appointments, while two agents who
attended failed to produce samples. Positive
test results undergo further forensic analysis
before an appropriate course of action is
determined by the Offi ce of Consumer and
Business Affairs (OCBA).
Finger printing of crowd controllers has also
continued, with more than 3500 security agents
fi ngerprinted to date.
Licensees are reminded that security agents
who may be required to use force must also be
an approved crowd controller under the Liquor
Licensing Act. All applicants seeking to become
an approved crowd controller must also be
licensed with OCBA.
For more information, application forms and
lodgement guides contact the OLGC on
8226 8453 or visit www.olgc.sa.gov.au.
The procedures for prevention of persons from entering, or removal or persons from,
licensed premises are contained in Schedule 1A of the Liquor Licensing (General)
Regulations 1997.
These procedures should be supported by responsible venue management policies and adequate
staff training. An authorised person includes the licensee, responsible person, police offi cer and
approved crowd controller.
The following procedures must be followed:
• Before using force an authorised person
must, if practicable, advise the offending
person that he or she is, under the Act,
authorised to use reasonable force to
prevent entry to, or the removal of persons
from, the premises and that he or she
will use force if necessary if the offending
person refuses to leave the premises.
• While using force to prevent a person
from entering, or to remove a person from,
licensed premises, an authorised person
Page 8 Licensee Update Winter 2007
may not hold the person above the person’s
shoulders, or undertake any other action
which could prevent or restrict the inhalation
of air by the person or cause the person to
suffer asphyxia. The laws of self defence are
not affected by these requirements.
• As soon as reasonably practicable following
an incident involving the use of force each
authorised person involved in the incident
(other than a police offi cer) must report the
incident to the licensee in writing, and must
include in the report the details in an incident
register (form 9).

FROM THE LICENSING COURT
The following disciplinary actions, under Section 120 of the Liquor Licensing Act 1997,
were recently determined.
Madam Woo ...
The licensees of the Madam Wu Noodle
Bar repeatedly contravened a number of
requirements of the Liquor Licensing Act
1997 and failed to implement instructions
from the Offi ce of the Liquor and Gambling
Commissioner.
Licensees John Anh Tham Du and Catherine
Hui Si Chow allowed the Norwood Parade
restaurant to deteriorate into an unsatisfactory
state of repair and put the safety of patrons
at risk by failing to comply with proper food
hygiene standards.
Judge Paul Rice also found that the proper
signage required by the Act and licence
conditions was not in place.
The breaches occurred over a long period,
despite repeated visits and instructions from
inspectors. The court fi ned each licensee
$2000.
Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club ...
The Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club was
fi ned $1000 for selling liquor at its Wingfi eld
clubrooms without a licence.
Police seized liquor and more than $9000 in
cash from the unlicensed premises after they
attended the clubrooms on an unrelated matter.
When imposing the penalty Judge Soulio took
into account that there had been no previous
offence under the Act by the club, that the
defendant pleaded guilty, the proceeds from
the sale of alcohol had been forfeited and that
stocks of liquor purchased legitimately had also
been forfeited.
FAD Food Art Design ...
FAD Food Art Design was fi ned $3000 and
the company Director was reprimanded for
breaching its special circumstances licence and
endangering the safety of patrons.
A band performing at the
premises was comprised of six
performers, despite the licence
condition that “in the case of
live entertainment there shall
be no more than four performers at any one
time”.
It is also a condition of the licence that “the
overall premises shall operate as a licensed
café and art gallery with food available during
all hours of trading, and in respect of the fi rst
fl oor or same (sic) it shall be set up as an art
gallery at all hours of trading and there shall
be adequate signage and literature on the
premises advertising that fact.”
On September 14, 2006 a band was performing
and liquor was being served while the fi rst fl oor
art gallery of the premises was closed, despite
the above requirement of the licence.
Access to emergency exits at the premises was
also blocked on all three occasions.
In addition to breaching conditions of its special
circumstances licence, the licensee also
endangered the safety of patrons in a separate
incident on January 5, 2007.
Caledonian Hotel ...
The Caledonian Hotel was penalised for
breaching the conditions of its limited licence on
June 27 in 2006.
The licence was obtained for a function held in
conjunction with the live telecast of a World Cup
soccer match between the hours of 12.30am
and 3am.
A responsible person listed on the licence was
not in attendance and there were no security
personnel on the premises during this event,
despite a condition that a minimum of one
security agent was to be provided during the
above hours.
The Director and responsible person were
reprimanded and the licensee received a $750
fi ne.

FROM THE LICENSING COURT
LANDMARK HQ DECISION
South Australian
licensees can now
ban patrons who
pose a risk to public
safety by reputation, as a
result of a recent landmark
court decision.
On May 4, Judge Paul
Rice upheld barring orders
preventing three members of
the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle
Club from entering or
remaining on the premises of a
city nightclub.
The trio were banned from HQ
last October, because of their
association with the outlaw
motorcycle club. On February
3, 2007 the licensee issued
further barring orders, barring
the men from entering or
remaining on the premises for
a further six months.
The trio applied for a review of
the initial three month barring
notices last December. They
argued they were properly
attired and did not behave in
an inappropriate manner when
they were denied entry to the
popular North Terrace venue in
October, 2006.
“This is an important
step in keeping
venues here in
SA safe for young
people to frequent.”
- Minister Rankine
In his decision, Judge Rice
found that the three ‘bikies’
posed a potential risk to
patrons at HQ.
Liquor and Gambling
Commissioner Bill Pryor says
the decision means licensees
can refuse entry to outlaw
motorcycle club members
because of their reputation
or the reputation of their club,
that is to say, where there is a
reasonable apprehension by a
licensee that there is a danger
to patrons and/or staff from
anyone in that club.
Consumer Affairs Minister
Jennifer Rankine agrees the
decision will help to ensure
licensed premises are safe.
“We have to praise the bravery
of the licensee in taking this
step and also commend
the Offi ce of the Liquor and
Gambling Commissioner
and South Australia Police,”
Minister Rankine says.
“This is an important step
in keeping venues here in
SA safe for young people to
frequent.”
SA German Association (‘German Club’) ...
The licensee of the German Club was fi ned $500 for breaching three licence conditions
when the premises were hired to a private contractor for a “hip hop” event on September 1,
2006.
Alcohol was consumed by minors who had attended the event, although it was not alleged that
they purchased the liquor at the premises. Police also observed some carry-off of alcohol from the
premises and that a staircase leading from a declared exit (from the fi rst fl oor to the ground fl oor)
was partially blocked by a security grill.
The Judge took the club’s unblemished record, its early guilty plea and the contrition shown by the
licensee into account when imposing a $500 fi ne.
His Honour also took into consideration the extensive steps the licensee took in an endeavour to
prevent the breaches that occurred. These measures included the presence of security personnel
at the event, coloured wristbands for customers who were entitled to be served alcohol and that
patrons were only able to purchase two drinks at a time.
No penalty was given to the responsible person.

COOBER PEDY LIQUOR LICENSING ACCORD
The ‘Breakaways’ is one of Coober Pedy’s famous tourist attractions.
- Margaret Mackay photo
A number of Coober Pedy licensees, who
are members of the Coober Pedy Liquor
Licensing Accord, have adopted voluntary
measures to address alcohol-related issues
in the town.
The measures restrict the sale of “carry off”
liquor from certain licensed premises and
include:
• No carry off sales of liquor before 11am.
• No sales of fortifi ed wines before 3pm.
• One unit of fortifi ed wine per day per person
or per vehicle.
• Bulk sales of liquor are to be at the discretion
of licensees.
In addition, a party wise registration initiative
was introduced whereby intending party holders
register their event with local police
The Accord helps licensees to implement harm
minimisation initiatives through partnerships with
SA Police, Families SA, Aboriginal Affairs and
Reconciliation Division, Umoona Community
Council, the District Council of Coober Pedy and
OLGC.
The Accord was established in 2003 after key
licensees approached OLGC for help in tackling
alcohol-related problems in the famous opal
mining town. The Accord complements the
Coober Pedy Alcohol Strategy – a longer term
plan to reduce anti-social behaviour in the town.
The Accord is an agreement of a set of
principles that all parties implement in order to
improve the safety and amenity of the town.
These principles not only focus on alcohol, but
also on reducing crime, violence and anti-social
behaviour within Coober Pedy.
At the last meeting of the Accord, held on
March 21, 2007, the Coober Pedy Alcohol
Strategy was discussed along with a review of
the town’s dry areas and an update on issues
in the APY (Aboriginal) Lands. Assistant Liquor
and Gambling Commissioner Eugene Milograd
also outlined the initiatives recently adopted in
Ceduna for Accord stakeholders to consider.
Renowned for its opals, Coober Pedy is located
approximately 850 km north of Adelaide and
680 km south of Alice Springs on the Stuart
Highway. Coober Pedy has developed into a
popular tourist destination since the discovery of
its 4,954 square kilometre opal fi elds in 1913.
The town’s tourist attractions include a grassfree
golf course, the Old Timers Mine and
Museum and events such as the Coober
Pedy Opal Festival and Coober Pedy Races.
The town’s natural landscapes – such as the
Breakaways – have featured in many fi lms
including ‘Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome’.
The unique town is also famous for its “dug-out”
facilities, which naturally regulate the district’s
scorching summer temperatures. Sleeping,
dining and even shopping underground is a
regular part of life in Coober Pedy – around half
of the town’s estimated 4000 residents live in
underground homes.

WATER ...
The Code of Practice, under the Liquor
Licensing Act 1997, recommends that
licensees consider providing free water
as a responsible service of alcohol (RSA)
strategy.
Recently, a number of licensees have been
requesting a gold coin donation to charity for a
glass of water. Whilst we applaud the support
of charity organisations and acknowledge this
innovative idea, it may have the unintended
consequence of limiting the amount of water
consumed by patrons drinking alcohol.
Licensees should consider this issue carefully
and if they decide to continue this practice,
review their RSA strategies to ensure they
are meeting their obligations of ensuring a
responsible attitude towards the consumption of
alcohol.
