The Cumulative Impact Assessment forms part of the regulatory framework used to manage the large concentrations of licensed premises in the precincts and related cumulative impacts. It applies to hotels (excluding tourist accommodation), registered clubs, nightclubs, packaged liquor outlets, late-trading karaoke bars and strip clubs. The Assessment sets out four areas in the precincts where the Authority will generally not approve further licences, late-night trading or increases to licensed boundaries for these types of premises due to the likelihood that this would have an overall negative social impact.
These ‘Cumulative Impact Areas’ include the South CBD, Oxford St/Darlinghurst, Wynyard Station and Surrounds, and Kings Cross. The Assessment contains relevant information on, and supporting evidence for, this licensing approach. It also provides guidance on the factors that ILGA will consider when assessing any applications in these areas and the types of circumstances where exceptions can apply.
