Liquor licence for additional area granted; objectors failed to prove it was contrary to public interest.
The appellant applied for an additional licensed area to increase its indoor capacity by 119 persons.
The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to review the application after receiving objections from local residents concerned about the aggregate number of patrons leaving late-night establishments in the neighbourhood.
The Tribunal found no evidence that the appellant's specific operation caused issues or that the capacity increase would pose public safety concerns.
The objectors failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that issuing the licence was not in the public interest.
The Tribunal directed the Registrar to issue the licence.
