Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has announced a new policy proposal ahead of the upcoming November election. If re-elected, the Labor government intends to implement changes to current hospitality regulations regarding operating hours for venues across the state.
The core of the proposal involves a commitment to reduce administrative red tape for pub and venue operators. Under the plan, all operators would be granted the right to remain open until 3am.
The initiative is framed by the government as a measure to streamline existing processes for the hospitality industry. By standardizing the closing time, the government aims to simplify the regulatory environment for business owners.
The proposed changes are contingent upon the outcome of the state election scheduled for November. Should the Labor government secure another term, these adjustments to trading hours would be enacted as part of their platform.
