Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) There are 5 liquor licence categories in the ACT. As at 19 November 2009, there were:
337 ON licences
12 General licences
65 Club licences
41 Special licences
192 OFF licences
(2) The records are specific to each licence and there is no database ability to provide a comprehensive list of all capacities, nor the average.
The capacity for each licence depends on the size of the premises and the size of the indoor and outdoor public areas determined by the Commissioner for Fair Trading in accordance with the Liquor Act 1975, and subsequently with any occupancy loadings determined by the Commissioner, for those areas.
(3) Liquor licences are recorded against geographical divisions. The following numbers of existing licences are specifically related to the Divisions of Gungahlin, Belconnen, City, Phillip and Greenway:
