Alcohol delivery restrictions revealed as SA commits to DV royal commission five-year plan
The SA government will introduce new laws to restrict the online delivery of alcohol, including a two-hour gap between order and delivery, as it announces a five-year plan to implement recommendations from the recent Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence.
The South Australian government plans to introduce stricter regulations on the online delivery of alcohol as part of its five-year strategy to address domestic, family, and sexual violence, following the recent Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence. The government has already addressed 12 out of 136 recommendations, with work ongoing for another 25.
Among the proposed measures is a new law that would restrict the same-day delivery of alcohol between 10am and 10pm, with a mandatory two-hour gap between the order being placed and the delivery taking place. Premier Peter Malinauskas stated that while alcohol delivery is popular in South Australia, the existing regulation has lagged behind service provision.
He expressed hope that the legislation would be approved by year-end. The government committed to the "Building Safer Futures" plan, outlining how it intends to respond to the 63 recommendations accepted in full, 19 in part, and six noted by the royal commission.
