Dan Murphy’s has been given the green light by the ILGA (Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority) to open a premium outlet in Sydney’s CBD.
The approval follows the city’s consent earlier this year for the fit-out and use of the former Lindt Cafe site as a premium wine store for the liquor company.
In its decision, ILGA announced the site would trade as a “premium wine store, targeted to wine enthusiasts to discover and experience premium wines” and will be a “boutique operation compared to a typical Dan Murphy’s store”, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Conditions for the approval include that the outlet close for six hours between 3 am and 9 am, have CCTV, contact police about any incidents and maintain an “incident register”. The liquor company proposed to trade seven days from 9am-10pm and 10am-10pm on Sunday.
