Heavens above! How may booze outlets do we need? Aldi, Local liquor, the one over the bridge and up past the petrol station, I assume you can buy it at the pub and there are two at least in Dulwich Hill and more in Campsie. And will the new Woolies they are promising us for the bottom of that monstrosity next to the station be selling it too? Please have a thought for the community and knock this one back.

I believe there are already sufficient liquor outlets in Canterbury. At least three of them are already within close walking proximity to the site proposed, plus Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL further up the road. There are two chain liquor stores within close driving distance.
Council should be encouraging greater diversity of retail outlets and, in this case, if there is a desperate need for more alcohol in Canterbury, an independently owned/operated boutique wine or spirits bar would be a welcome alternative - and one that presents alcohol consumption in a more appropriate context.

As per the previous comments. There are sufficient alcohol retail outlets in this area. Some diversity of retail offerings would be of benefit to the community.

I support this application. The current liquor outlets within walking distance are very limited in variety. Aldi is o.k for $3 cooking wine, but what if you want something nice? Or it's after 8pm? I hope it will be like the BWS in Erskineville. They have a good selection for such a small shop. There will be many more people moving into the area. More retail is needed. This shop will be one of eight in the building(plus woolies) so there will be a variety of offerings. The location is great! Being right next to the station means people can pop in when they get off the train- reducing the need for car travel. Many people will be drawn to the area for the great public transport links, and will be car-free. It is important to provide shops in the Charles St area to cater for the new residents and reduce trips made by car.
