Alcohol management
Alcohol Management Plans seek to reduce alcohol-related harm in communities and towns all over the Territory.
The plans can include measures such as:
- Supply restrictions, whereby licensees agree or have their license conditions formally varied to limit the amount or type of alcohol that can be sold, or the times during which it is available
- Permit systems, whereby all residents of a region are required to hold a permit to buy takeaway alcohol, or
- Agreements to work together to provide better links between sobering-up shelters, detoxification and rehabilitation services.
The plans are overseen by local Alcohol Reference Groups with representatives from local government, key service providers and relevant Northern Territory agencies, such as NT Police, Justice and Health.
Alcohol Management Plans currently exist in Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, Katherine, Palmerston, Groote Eylandt and the East Arnhem region. Plans are under development or consideration in Timber Creek, Borroloola, Jabiru and the West Arnhem region and Elliott.
