A rare example of a high-risk liquor licence being granted within the Cumulative Impact Assessment area of Sydney.
The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority recently granted a new on-premises (public theatre entertainment) licence with an extended trading authorisation for Bon Bon's in Bridge Street, Sydney.
Remarkably, no objections were lodged by any of the key stakeholders, including local police. No doubt this application was accompanied by extensive stakeholder consultation during the Community Impact Statement phase.
A fine achievement, and just shows that in the right circumstances, and with the right proactive approach, it is possible to overcome the presumption against the grant of such high-risk applications within the CIA area.
