Liquor Accord
Last modified: June 23, 2009 - 4:28 PM
The Southern Highlands Liquor Accord (SHLA) is pro-active agreement between groups and individuals who have common objectives and wish to work together to achieve those ends. The accord provides a framework to develop strategies to improve safety and security, reduce alcohol and drug related harm and improve the amenity of the Southern Highlands.
The aim of the SHLA is to enhance the standing of the liquor industry in the eyes of the community and to reduce adverse public impacts and potential harms related to the use of alcohol and other drugs in the Southern Highlands, such as underage drinking, drink driving and other alcohol and drug related behaviour of an anti-social, violent or criminal nature.
The objectives of SHLA are to:
- Build enduring relationships between and encourage membership of the SHLA by licensees, police, WSC, RTA, OLGR, TAFE NSW (Illawarra Institute), and South West and Illawarra Area Health Services and other stakeholder members.
-
Provide a forum of key stakeholders for communication, collaboration and resource development.
- Reduce alcohol and drug related crime and anti-social behaviour in and around licensed premises.
- Increase public awareness of RSA
-
Provide secure and safe environments for the entertainment of patrons.
-
Advise local authorities on matters relevant to the liquor industry when requested.
-
Advise OLGR on membership of the SHLA.
The SHLA has been operating since 1 September 2002. The SHLA document was reviewed in 2008 and a new version adopted on 16 September 2008. The 2008 SHLA has no end date and will remain valid until amended after review by the Committee of Management and subsequently authorised by a majority at a general meeting of the accord. Membership is free.
