From 1 July 2024, amendments to the Liquor Regulation 2019 will come into effect. This means takeaway and grocery store licensees in the Darwin urban liquor control area can ask customers intending to purchase take away alcohol where they intend to consume the alcohol. Licensees can refuse service to a customer if: o the customer cannot state the place where the alcohol is intended to be consumed; or o if the intended location is a prohibited public place or other restricted area. These changes are part of a broader suite of measures aimed at tackling alcohol related crime and anti-social behaviour in the Northern Territory.
