News: NSW Government "Hassle Free Nights" program to reduce alcohol-related crime & anti-social drunken behaviour in our main entertainment districts

The NSW Government has released a new plan of measures to reduce alcohol-related crime and anti-social drunken behaviour in our main entertainment districts - including Oxford Street. Actions include extending the liquor licence freeze (due to expire on 24th June 2010) for a further 12 months, increased late night transport options across targeted entertainment districts, strengthened regulation of the most violent licensed premises and powers to regulate trading hours. New rules also target alcohol-related violence from party boats, karaoke venues, party buses and large scale events
