Liquor licence approved for indoor barn venue; objectors failed to prove public interest exception.
The appellant applied for a liquor licence for an indoor barn venue with a capacity of 300 persons, primarily to serve alcohol during a seasonal farmers market.
The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to review the application after receiving objections from residents concerned about past outdoor music festivals, noise, and zoning compliance.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the objectors' concerns were speculative and related to past outdoor events rather than the proposed indoor venue.
The Tribunal concluded that the added party failed to prove that granting the licence was contrary to the public interest and directed the Registrar to approve the application without conditions.
