About
ABOUT THE ACCORD
The Tweed Coast Liquor Accord is a voluntary group of local industry based representatives, dedicated to introducing practical solutions to liquor-related problems.
Accords have been identified as a positive way forward to minimise alcohol related harm that can occur in and around licensed premises.
The liquor laws provide some powerful tools to address local alcohol related problems – including temporary closure, noise/disturbance complaints and disciplinary complaints before the Licensing Court. Police, Councils and residents are encouraged to use these measures when problems occur.
With the support and cooperation of local licensees and clubs, we aim to prevent the issues from occurring in the first place.
