25.01.2022 Proud to have worked on this project The Adnate hotel opens its doors in Perth Accor has opened the doors to its ninth Art Series hotel, The Adnate, in Perth’s city centre. Welcoming its first guests on Tuesday, the 250-room hotel was inspired by the multicultural portraiture of renowned Australian street artist, Matt Adnate, and features one of the world’s largest ‘mega murals’ - the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere, spanning 25 storeys. The Adnate is the first Art Series hotel dedicated to street art and heralds the arrival of the Art Series brand in Western Australia. For more information, visit the Art Series website.

24.01.2022 With the current convivial atmosphere amongst Governments, and the recognition of the huge task ahead of restarting the economy, is this not a time to revisit Fringe Benefits Tax? What a boost to the hospitality industry that would be!

23.01.2022 Perth's newest dining and function venue is halfway done! The Raft will be completed and ready for action by the first week of September. The Raft is a one of a kind service offering, and we were lucky enough to work with them on their liquor licence. If you'd like to know more, we've linked their web page below, as well as our web post on the work we did with them!... We're very excited to see them open and look forward to having a drink on Perth water very soon.

23.01.2022 The Australian Hotels Association (WA) - alongside announcements from the Premier - have announced phase three restrictions that are coming into effect as of midnight next Friday - 5th June. What does this mean for all of us in the hospitality industry? New one person per 2 square metre rule will now apply... Venues will be allowed up to 100 patrons per separate area or room A new maximum capacity of 300 patrons per venue The requirement for alcohol to be served ancillary to a meal will be removed Patrons are allowed to be served at a bar, but must remain seated to be consuming alcohol Contact tracing requirements will remain and be required for each area or room in a venue This is a huge step forward in the right direction - and we are excited to see how this all unfolds! As always - any questions on what this might mean for you and your business, please don’t hesitate to contact Canford. #hospitalityindustry #foodserviceindustry

23.01.2022 This could be adapted to an Australian experience?

23.01.2022 Knee jerk reactions seldom produce good results. There is a better way, it is possible to have a vibrant social scene which is safe for the majority

22.01.2022 As we approach the Easter long weekend please spare a thought for people in the hospitality sector, especially in the tourist towns around WA, including Dunsborough, Yallingup, Margaret River and Albany. Easter is one of the most important weekends, usually, for them, and they will be sitting in empty venues this weekend.

22.01.2022 Any funding and promotion of country hotels is obviously welcome, however, a more in depth review of the business model and product offer is also very key

22.01.2022 Great to see WA's first successful weekend of Phase 3! Clients we've partnered with, like the Bassendean Hotel, Paddy Malone’s, Odyssea City Beach reported they were inundated with patrons eager to get out and socialise again. If you're looking for a list of restaurants and bars that are back in business - check out Broadsheet's live list of Perth venues (link below).

21.01.2022 Under the new needs test in the Liquor Control Act WA the 400sqm limitation relates to the "retail area" of the store. There is a definition of that term, but exactly how it is calculated, and exactly what is included in the "retail area" may be subject to some interpretation.

21.01.2022 Olive Farm's new cellar door experience Olive Farm Wines, located in Perth’s Swan Valley wine region, has introduced a self-service ‘adults-only’ vending machine to its cellar door experience. The four Enomatic Wine dispensing machines allow visitors to try 32 different varieties of Olive Farm produced wine. The custom designed and built display tank uses argon gas, which preserves the quality of the wine once the bottle has been opened. With the assistance of staff, visitors are able to taste a set number of wines from the system by inserting a prepaid card, allowing the machine to dispense a measured tasting serve.

21.01.2022 New post up on our website! A good friend of Canford, General Public Food Co will be opening the doors of their second venue this weekend in Inglewood. We've had the pleasure of working with Evan, Sarah and Nic for a couple years now - and you'll definitely catch us at their opening this weekend.... They've been a great success story for the hospitality industry coming out of COVID just as strong as before, and it's worth celebrating.

There is an abundance of tech on show, with over 200 food and beverage exhibitors displaying their latest product launches. The event is running in July, with dates to be confirmed. If you are planning to attend let’s catch up in Singapore - or even if you'd just like to know more about the Expo itself - drop a like on this post and I'll make contact. The link to the website is below for those wanting to have a read. Hope to see you there! https://fhapwa.com/

19.01.2022 The Department of Local Govt., Sport and Cultural Industries are conducting audits of liquor-selling websites in an effort to ensure their compliance with section 113A of the Liquor Control Act of 1988 and regulation 18EA of the Liquor Control Regulations 1989. This means your website will need up to date licence information and the correct warning notice. Should this apply to you - please make sure your website is compliant with the above regulations! And if you are needing ...extra clarity on whether your website has been updated correctly, please contact us and we will be happy to help. Both documents can be found by clicking the link below.

19.01.2022 Canford projects at City Beach and Wembley Golf Complex go from strength to strength, with tenants paying market rents, and up to a third of the development cost already paid off. A win all round. Happy landlord, happy tenants, and happy punters.

19.01.2022 From the licensing authority website... Instructions to close certain places of business, worship and entertainment: Under the Emergency Management Act 2005, the Commissioner of Police and State Emergency Coordinator, Chris Dawson, has issued directions regarding the closure of various establishments to the public in WA to limit the spread of COVID-16.... Owners, occupiers or people in charge of the following ‘affected places’ must close to the public for the period from 12 noon on 23 March to midnight on 13 April 2020. ‘Affected places’ are: A profit or not-for-profit business such as a pub, bar or club that supplies alcohol under a licence granted by the Liquor Control Act 1988 (WA) not including any part of the business that is a bottleshop; A hotel, whether licensed or unlicensed, but not to the extent that it provides accommodation, takeaway meals or drinks or a meal delivery service or any part of the hotel constituted by a bottleshop; A gym; an indoor sporting centre; a casino; a cinema or nightclub; an entertainment venue of any other kind; or a restaurant or café, other than to the extent that it provides takeaway meals or drinks or a meal delivery service; and A place of worship, other than for the purposes of a wedding or funeral. You can download the Commissioner’s full directions below. To ensure national consistency this Direction applies to local government venues and facilities. It affects libraries, indoor sporting venues, theatres and other cultural and sporting facilities that may be operated or managed by local governments or private operators. This Direction is about access to the public; it does not affect these as places of work and operations can continue. Indeed, I encourage you to look at new or expanded ways to offer services and to keep your staff gainfully employed. This is a time when we must all take leadership roles in setting the example for, and providing guidance to, members of the community. I appreciate the efforts that you are taking in this regard. If you have any questions, please email [email protected] Yours sincerely Duncan Ord OAM Director General 23 March 2020

17.01.2022 New post up on our website! Brief history lesson about Canford and our experience with the old "Needs test" from 2007, as well as the "Reasonable Requirements test" that was introduced late last year. Have a read, the link's down below :)... #hospitalityindustry

16.01.2022 New changes restrict liquor barns to address community concerns Friday, 1 November 2019 New regulations restricting number of WA liquor barns take effect on November 2 Changes the first of their kind in Australia and were drawn up in consultation with key industry stakeholders ... Changes follow community concerns about the proliferation of large liquor outlets The State Government has introduced changes to the Liquor Control Act 1988 to reduce alcohol-related harm in the community by clamping down on the proliferation of liquor barns. New regulations that take effect from tomorrow (November 2) will not allow large packaged liquor outlets - of 400 square metres or greater - to be established within five kilometres (metropolitan area) or 12 kilometres (regional areas) of an existing large packaged liquor outlet of 400 square metres or more. The distances are calculated using the shortest route by road. Racing and Gaming Minister Paul Papalia said the changes are the result of ongoing community concerns and extensive industry consultation, and will provide certainty to liquor industry investors in Western Australia. The changes will still allow for 'greenfields' outlets to be established as a 'first mover', but no further large packaged liquor outlets will be allowed within the above distances. The changes are not retrospective - all existing venues will be unaffected, but they will not be able to increase the size of their retail sales area to more than 400 square metres if another large packaged liquor outlet is within the prescribed distances. Other amendments to the Act include allowing the Director of Liquor Licensing to assess whether consumers' needs are reasonably met by existing packaged liquor outlets when assessing a new application for an outlet in a local area. The changes were drawn up in consultation with key stakeholders including the Liquor Stores Association of WA, Australian Hotels Association (WA), the McCusker Foundation, WALGA, as well as a range of private companies and peak bodies. Comments attributed to Racing and Gaming Minister Paul Papalia: "These amendments to the Liquor Control Act 1988 were passed in July 2018 with overwhelming support. "They are the first of their kind in Australia and are a good example of community feedback leading to policy change. "They represent the most significant reforms in more than a decade - since the Labor Government's changes in 2007 which opened the small bars market in WA. "Importantly, they strike an excellent balance between liberalising the liquor environment for responsible licensees and consumers, as well as managing community expectations for particular types of venues."

15.01.2022 To support the liquor industry the Director of Liquor Licensing will grant occasional liquor licences to existing licensed venues for up to 6 months to allow the sale of liquor with a takeaway or delivered meal.

15.01.2022 Canford client Cherry's Catering doing what they can to assist health workers, see below... Due to the ongoing events we have had to adjust the style of our catering to focus on supplying bulk readymade meals to both the community, and through donations we are providing meals to the frontline health services. We have started providing meals for Joondalup Health Campus, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Emergency Services. We are also hoping to distribute to Perth Children’s ...Hospital, St John of God Subiaco and more locations. From the very start of having our initial idea to the delivery of the first week’s meals we have had enormous support and so much positive feedback it has been heart-warming. We are producing these meals at cost, not for a profit and have been working hard behind the scenes to get funding. A number of donations have been gratefully received from the local community and businesses, but in order to continue Cherry’s need more donations. We have the experienced staff, the commercial production kitchen and local suppliers on hand to produce 1000 plus healthy readymade meals a day if required, which are made fresh to eat now or freeze for later. We are asking if you could spread the word to attract more donations from the Perth community, from those is a position to help. We would appreciate any support you are able to give.

13.01.2022 For our clients who sell packaged (take-away) liquor in WA...

Temporary limits for takeaway alcohol to assist with COVID-19 response Ensuring our hospitals are well resourced to manage increased pressure Minimising alcohol-related problems during periods of social distancing Restrictions will be reviewed after two weeks The restrictions will be implemented for a minimum two-week period, and will then be reviewed.

13.01.2022 Liquor Store Licence for Bottle-O Martin! Earlier this week we received the good news that our client, Bottle-O Martin, had their liquor store licence application approved. This comes in the aftermath of the November 2019 changes to the Liquor Control Act which introduced the reasonable requirements test for take-away liquor outlets. Strict enforcement of that new provision lead to refusals for venues like Hangawee, Northbridge, Commune Wine Store, Maylands and BWS Inglewoo...d. The soon to be built shopping centre in Martin can now proceed as planned.

05.01.2022 Canford has successfully obtained a Special Facility Licence for Piccadilly Theatre. The venue will now be undergoing a multi million dollar upgrade to their theatre. A Special Facility Licence is available to venues that don't operate as traditional food and beverage spots (bars, cafes etc.). The grant has come in good time for the commencement of the renovation works. Congratulations to Piccadilly Theatre, and watch this space for updates!

05.01.2022 An article was posted this week by Broadsheet about a proposed liquor store on Railway Parade - called Commune Wine Store. Racing, Game and Liquor unfortunately knocked back their application for a liquor store licence reportedly because of the 'new reasonable requirements' test. The owners are currently seeking funding for a review to the Liquor Commission. The situation is very interesting and unfortunate because renovations for their venue was all done (by the owners no ...less) - and the second they got their licence approved, they would open their doors. Their experience highlights the importance of satisfying this new clause that now exists in liquor licence applications. If you want to read more about their experience, you can do so by clicking the link below - it's quite a good read. Please call me if you want to discuss this in more detail. Best of luck to Commune Wine Store! Hoping the appeal goes well.

03.01.2022 Recently Racing, Gaming and Liquor Minister Paul Papalia appeared on ABC radio to discuss home delivery of alcohol. On that radio program it was acknowledged that home delivery of alcohol is currently permitted, and has been permitted from hotels and taverns for several decades. The Minister said he is looking at this issue with a view to amending the Liquor Control Regulations. He said he acknowledges there is public demand for this service, and said he does not want to ban ...the practice. (Something we put to his policy adviser some months ago) Jimmy Brings is an alcohol delivery service by Woolworth's which has been in place over East for some years now, but is now in WA. They promise delivery in 25 minutes! Clearly this space is changing, and changing quickly. Please PM me if this is a service you are considering adding to your business
