We strongly object to this application due to the existing high density of housing and the resultant issues when operating with a liquor license in the immediate area of this establishment. When the previous tenant was operating with a liquor license (even with limited opening hours) there was an increase of persons loitering which has resulted in increased noise, rubbish (smashed bottles) and urination in the adjacent streets and lane ways. We have observed that since the property has been vacant these incidents have decreased significantly. There is already an abundance of liquor licenses already operating in Errol St. There are just too many homes near this particular establishment. Additionally, council has never addressed the ongoing problem of adequate security and lighting in Lancashire Lane (directly behind the property) which is home to many rate payers.

We would like to endorse this application - it would be great to see the Court House Hotel reopen as it is in a Mixed Used Zone.
Management of this venue should consider existing residents and how to address concerns regarding noise, security, rubbish, etc. However, this should not be a deterrent as it is an opportunity to activate this area and improve the facilities/amenities in North Melbourne.
They are applying for a General Licence to supply liquor to customers on premises during ordinary trading hours for consumption which is reasonable if they are to serve food at this venue.
