Cable Beach Venue Charged for Liquor Law Breaches

0:00From the streets of Sydney to the world, this is Sydney News Today. West Australian police have charged the cable beach general store and cafe in Broom with multiple liquor law breaches. The venue allegedly sold takeaway wine to someone on the band drinker's register and did so without a proper takeaway license. Two workers at the spot also got fines for their roles in the incident. This happened back in January during routine patrols in the Kimberly region. Officers spotted a band drinker hiding two bottles of wine he bought there for $55. The store, near famous cable beach, offers many golf, groceries and meals but crossed the line on alcohol sales. Broom and nearby Derby rode out tough new alcohol rules in 2024 to fight high rates of booze-fueled violence. Bottleshops there can only sell from noon until 8 p.m. with limits like two bottles of wine or a carton of low strength beer per customer. Police say these steps protect vulnerable folks in the community.

1:00Investigators uncovered more issues at the venue like no approved manager on duty and outdated training log and missing signage. The business name got canceled on March 13th but the operating company still faces court in May over violations of liquor control laws. Kimberly police are ramping up enforcement against slide-rogging and license breaks. Officials stressed they'll keep cracking down hard to cut alcohol harm reminding everyone to follow the rules while enjoying the area's relaxed vibe.
