Now okay to have a tipple in a limo

SIPPING alcohol while being chauffeured in a limousine whose owner does not hold a liquor licence is no longer a street drinking offence.

Racing and Gaming Minister Terry Waldron said the amendment to the Liquor Control Act 1988 meant that owners of small-chartered vehicles could allow passengers to consume alcohol in the vehicle.

“This means a bride being driven to her wedding does not need to hire a liquor-licensed limousine in order for her and the bridal party to enjoy a glass of champagne,” he said.

The amendment relates only to BYO own alcohol.

It is still an offence for a small charter operator to sell or supply liquor to passengers without a liquor licence.
