I would like to have a say in this application for a liquor licence. I have not seen any displayed application posted, or distributed to the residents that overlook this area, so I will have to make some assumptions.
I have no objection to this training school having a licence between 8am to 5pm whilst they are training their students in making cocktails. The school hours are for classes from 8am to 4pm weekdays.
I do have any objections to a licence being granted if alcohol is being served for consumption and outside of these business hours, and on weekends. This school is in a quiet residential area of West Melbourne, and potentially excessive noise that could arise from drunk and loud behavior does echo in the area.
There are already many established bars in the West Melbourne area on the exposed main streets (such as Spencer and Victoria Streets) they already have security and processes in place to deal with any deviant behaviour. As this training college is in a quiet park with no passing traffic, if anything goes wrong outside of business hours, it will not be quiet, or safe for the residents that live on the adjoining roads.
thankyou for considering my comments.

I would also like to express my disapproval of this application for a liquor license outside the current school hours of 7.30am - 4pm, Monday- Friday. I'm ok with the license being issued for training their students only not for public consumption. There has been no public notice of this in our area. The owner I have chatted to the owner wants to hire out the venue for cocktail parties, a beer garden etc. His grand plan is to make this area into a multiplex with a roof top cinema, roof top pool and a childcare center during the day.
There are ample of pubs and licensed venues on Spencer Street to Errol Street and the surrounding streets. This school is surrounded by 100's of apartments and houses which is in the heart of West Melbourne suburbia.
If this is granted can you imagine it would be like living in a coliseum as the noise from the drinkers and smokers would rise up to all of us who surround this area, most of us this is our only way outside to our balconies that overlooks this business and space.
There would be a lot of unhappy residences if this license is granted outside the current operating hours.
Thank you for considering the residences of West Melbourne

As a resident in the area liquor availability and it’s associated effects is not something I would want.
Im Concerned with the methods being used to apply for these planning extensions. The location was meant to be a school and is now a cafe. Where will granting this liquor license extend to? I don’t want the associated effects of selling alcohol in the area. The vagrancy associated with patrons leaving the area, parking issues that already is an issue for residents and their visiting families. There are facilities within a few hundred meters on Spencer street and Errol street servicing this need. On behalf of all residence I have spoken with in Ireland street, please please please do not grant this request.
