The abuse and misuse of alcohol costs Queenslanders hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The measure of economic impact should not be restricted to tax payers dollars spent to address issues of safety. The impact extends across businesses and communities through crime, violence, road accidents and loss of productivity - not to mention the burden on our health system.
The State Government is committed to having an effective and sustainable approach to dealing with the misuse of alcohol through a network of Liquor Accords, forming a co-operative approach to local liquor-related issues in local areas. To this end, the Liquor Licensing Division will work with licensees and local communities to enhance and extend voluntary participation in the development and management of Liquor Accords.
We would like to acknowledge the Department of Communities and Brisbane City Council's contribution to the funding and development of this Accord website and their role in facilitating the establishment of the inner-city liquor licensing Accords.
The Queensland Government acknowledges the support of the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing in developing content for this website.
