QHA REVIEW | 56
Thank you to the hoteliers and QHA partners who
attended the South East Region Hoteliers Meeting
in March at the Prince Alfred Hotel Booval. Special
thanks to the Johnson Family, Peter Coultas and the
whole team at the venue for hosting the meeting.
Thanks to PFD Food Services for their ongoing
support of the hoteliers meetings, once again
showcasing the range of their products and produce.
The next Hoteliers Meeting will be held on Tuesday 30
April on the Gold Coast.
People, Pots & Profits Forum – Roma
QHA and CUB will be hosting the People, Pots and
Profits Forum in Roma on Tuesday 16 April. Attendees
will receive insights from the QHA and CUB teams,
along with presenters from Cooking the Books,
Bunnings Trade and DNS Specialty Services focusing
on reducing costs and maximising profits. Details for
the event have been sent to licensees from around
the region. Please contact QHA if you are still yet to
register your attendance.
Two-up on Anzac Day
Many hotels will be looking to host two-up games in
their venues on ANZAC Day but remember you must
receive written approval by an RSL sub-branch, and
the following conditions are to be adhered to:
• people aged under 18 must not play two-up
• no commission can be charged on money
wagered
• all money wagered in the game must be returned
to players as winnings
• if an entry fee is charged for those who
participate in the game, the money raised is to
be donated to the RSL or RSL sub-branch to
support ex-service men and women and their
families (this could be through an association
such as Legacy)
• money raised from entry fees must not be used
for administrative purposes
The QHA can assist members with a template letter for
seeking RSL sub-branch written approval to conduct
two-up and can provide information on ANZAC Day
trading conditions.
External Advertising and promotion management
plans for on-premise promotions
With the ANZAC Day public holidays approaching
many hoteliers will be looking to advertise upcoming
events and promotions at their venues, so it is always
timely to remind you of the legislated restrictions in
place for external advertising. The Liquor Act states:
Section 142ZZC (1)(a) to (c) prohibit a licensee or
permittee from advertising, or allowing anyone to
advertise:
a. the availability of the following for consumption on
the licensee’s licensed premises or the premises
to which the permittee’s permit relates (each the
advertised premises)
• free liquor
• multiple quantities of liquor; for example - 2
drinks for the price of 1.
b. the sale price of liquor for consumption on the
advertised premises; or
c. a promotion that is likely to indicate to an ordinary
person the availability of liquor, for consumption
on the advertised premises, at a price less than
that normally charged for the liquor. Examples of
promotions for (c) include:
• ‘happy hours’
• ‘all you can drink’
• ‘toss the boss’
In accordance with s142ZZC(2), a person does not
contravene s142ZZC(1) if:
a. the advertising happens only within the advertised
premises; and
b. the advertisement is not visible or audible to a
person who is outside the advertised premises.
Guideline 60 requires you to have a documented
promotion management plan, or harm minimisation
strategy, for all on-premise liquor promotions.
These plans detail the strategies you will implement
throughout the promotion period to ensure patrons
consume in a safe and responsible manner.
If you would like a promotion management plan
template or require assistance with your external
advertising contact the QHA.
