Liquour accord is officially launched

A Peninsula Liquour Accord will be officially launched on Tuesday, March 6, from 10am at the Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club, Ettalong.

"Accords play an important role in the development and implementation of strategies aimed at reducing liquor-related problems within local communities and complement wider crime prevention strategies of the police, local councils and the Attorney General's Department," said Peninsula Liquour Accord coordinator Mr Wayne Dean.

"The NSW Office of Liquour, Gaming and Racing in conjunction with NSW Police and other stakeholders are co-ordinating the official launch of the Peninsula Liquour Accord.

"I am pleased to advise that the Minister for Gaming and Racing, Mr Grant McBride, will be attending to formally launch the accord."

Member for Peats Ms Marie Andrews along with representatives of Gosford Council, NSW Police, community groups and organizations and local licensed venues will also be attending.

"The Peninsula Liquour Accord endorses a Code of Practice incorporating the 'Responsible Service of Alcohol'," Mr Dean said.
