Decision: As the member of the Commission appointed to consider the standing of objections to the Lorella Springs Station application, I have decided that the Borroloola Community Government letter of objection dated 21 May 2003 is not an objection under Council’s section 47F of the Liquor Act because it was not lodged within the specified time frame. The grounds for the objection also fail to meet the requirements that it is about the amenity of the relevant neighbourhood. I therefore direct the Director of Licensing to advise the Council of my decision and of the reasons for the decision. A copy of this statement of reasons should be provided to the Council. The Council should also be advised of its right to seek a review of my decision under section 47J of the Act. Recommendation: I shall be recommending to the Licensing Commission that a special licence condition requiring the applicant to keep a register of sales be included in any licence which may be eventually issued. Such a register should include the names of customers and some identifying details (for example, an licence number or car registration address, driver’s number) and should be available for inspection by Licensing Inspectors or members of the Licensing Commission as required. Please note that this is a recommendation only and the Commission is under no obligation to accept my recommendation. Jill Huck Member selected by the Chairman pursuant to s47I(2) 11 August 2003
