Who is responsible for monitoring licensees’ compliance with the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012?

The licensing inspector plays a crucial role in ensuring that licensees adhere to the regulations set forth in the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. This individual is tasked with monitoring compliance through various means, including conducting inspections, reviewing licensee practices, and making recommendations for improvements or corrective actions when necessary. Their expertise and direct involvement with the licensed premises enable them to identify any violations of the Act, ensuring that public safety and responsible service of alcohol are upheld.

This responsibility is significant because it helps maintain community standards and protects the integrity of the licensing system. While local law enforcement and the District Court have roles related to enforcing laws and adjudicating violations, respectively, the primary oversight and compliance monitoring regarding the specific provisions of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act fall to the licensing inspector. Therefore, their work is foundational in promoting responsible alcohol consumption and maintaining licensee accountability.
