Under The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, what is your responsibility as a Duty Manager or Server to the community?

The responsibility of a Duty Manager or Server under The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 is primarily centered on the compliance with any Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) conditions. Each local council has set specific guidelines that aim to control the sale and supply of alcohol within their communities, ensuring that the distribution of alcohol aligns with local preferences and concerns.

By adhering to these policies, Duty Managers and Servers help maintain public safety and manage the social impact of alcohol. Compliance may include limits on operating hours, restrictions on the types of alcohol that can be sold, and measures to prevent underage drinking. This is crucial for fostering a responsible drinking environment and ensuring that the establishment contributes positively to the community it serves.

Other options, while potentially relevant to a business environment, do not directly reflect the legal obligations set forth by the Act. For instance, ensuring sales targets are met relates more to business performance than community responsibility, managing community outreach events may enhance community relations but is not a mandated responsibility under the law, and providing entertainment options, although beneficial for patron satisfaction, does not address the core duty of compliance with local regulations designed to protect community interests.
