Regulatory framework for online alcohol sales and deliveries in Queensland
The Department of Justice and Attorney-General consulted on proposed measures to develop a new regulatory framework for online alcohol sales and deliveries in Queensland. This may involve amendments to the Liquor Act 1992 and the Wine Industry Act 1994.
Queensland’s current liquor laws don’t provide explicit authorisations or harm-minimisation obligations in relation to online alcohol sales and deliveries. Online alcohol sales and deliveries pose unique regulatory challenges involving the customer and the licensee, third-party delivery provider and delivery person. The proposed new regulatory framework is to ensure the responsible service of alcohol at the point of sale and point of delivery.
This consultation considered the potential benefits, costs, risks, issues and impacts associated with online alcohol sales and deliveries in Queensland.
