Neighbourhood disturbances related to licensed venues

To assist councils in providing appropriate advice to residents, the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing has developed a Disturbance Concerns Guide to provide information to local residents and businesses on resolving concerns about neighbourhood disturbances related to licensed venues such as pubs, clubs, restaurants and bottle shops.

Disturbance Guide

The Guide emphasises the local resolution of disturbance concerns as the preferred approach to dealing with disturbance issues but also outlines the options of mediation and the formal disturbance complaints process to resolve issues between residents and licensed venues. It also provides advice on the role of the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing in dealing with these issues. 

This information is attached for all community - local residents and businesses, as appropriate, to improve knowledge about appropriate approaches to dealing with disturbance issues related to licensed venues.

The document is also available on the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing website at www.olgr.nsw.gov.au and further information or assistance on issues relating to disturbance concerns or complaints related to licensed premises can be sought from the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing Compliance Branch on (02) 9995 0837.
