By the Numbers
Two businesses in Wagga Wagga, Australia, have officially applied to sell alcohol. Jadine's Café on Baylis Street is requesting a licence valid from 10.00 to midnight every day in order to serve beer, wine, and liquor to its customers during lunch and dinner. The Bidgee Brew brewery in Forest Hill, on the other hand, applied for a limited licence to sell alcohol during the NRLW Magic Round event on 1-2 August.
Meanwhile, interim approval has been granted for the transfer of existing liquor licences to the new owners of the Griffith Central shopping centre and the historic Griff Hotel. The regulatory agency, Liquor & Gaming NSW, approved the transfer of the packaged liquor licence belonging to an Italian supermarket that closed in Griffith Central about two years ago to the new managers. Although this decision does not mean a new liquor store will open in the area, it paves the way for a business to sell packaged alcohol there in the future.
The licence transfer for the historic Griff Hotel was finalized following the sale of the pub in April. The hotel was purchased by Leeton-based Trent Middleton and his wife Cuiping Zeng as Jim Knox gradually withdraws from the Riverina hospitality sector. The transfer of the licence clears the way for the new owners to reopen the historic venue with their existing authorities.
