NSW clubs could welcome crowds of more than 500 people in certain venues from Monday, with the industry boasting it ’heavily influenced’ state government decision-making.Key points:
*A ClubsNSW circular was sent to members on Wednesday announcing how venues would reopen next week under ’very generous conditions’
*ClubsNSW CEO Josh Landis says in the memo the NSW Chief Health Officer was ’heavily influenced’ by the industry association’s plan
*The document lays out how more than 500 people will be allowed in large venues with multiple dining areas and they can make use of gaming rooms with poker machines
According to an internal industry document obtained by the ABC, large clubs with multiple dining areas will be able to accommodate hundreds of patrons if they meet certain conditions.
In a memo sent to member clubs on Wednesday, ClubsNSW CEO Josh Landis took credit on behalf of the association for the rapid easing of restrictions across the hospitality sector in the state.
In the ClubsNSW circular, Mr Landis boasted that the NSW Chief Health Officer and other government officials were ’heavily influenced by ClubsNSW’s reopening plan’.
NSW Health would not directly respond to this claim but said in a statement it ’will continue to engage with industry groups on the safe reopening of businesses in line with health advice’.
Last week, the NSW State Government announced a limit of 50 people per venue. But large pubs and clubs with multiple restaurants or cafes can accommodate an additional 50 people permitted per dining area.
The ClubsNSW document reveals that discussions were had with the NSW Government about capping that limit to 500 people in venues with multiple dining areas and large floor space.
Mr Landis tells members: ’Following further engagement by ClubsNSW, the upper limit of 500 patrons in a venue has been removed. Instead, the upper limit will be determined by the number of ’dining areas’ in the club, in conjunction with the 4 square metre rule.’
The document outlines how additional patrons might be accommodated through the use of the dining area rule.
It suggests clubs may use conference facilities as additional dining areas if they are frequently used for seated dining.Stay up-to-date on the coronavirus outbreak
It also says some clubs may be able to use physical barriers within large rooms to split rooms into different dining areas, although ClubsNSW advises against it.
ClubsNSW advises its member clubs against erecting temporary walls to create additional dining areas and says that making use of some temporary food outlets such as coffee carts and pie warmers might be seen as irresponsible and will not increase a club’s admissible number of patrons.
’Managers should also keep the penalties in mind before seeking to artificially increase the venue capacity,’ Mr Landis wrote.
According to the document, patrons will not be required to consume food to use club facilities.
Additionally, the kitchens that service the relevant dining areas don’t need to be open at all times and patrons do not need to leave the club once the kitchen closes.NSW first to cash in on pokies reopening
On Monday, NSW will become the first state to allow gambling on the pokies since the COVID-19 shutdown, as confirmed by Deputy Premier John Barilaro late last week.
The ClubsNSW document says that gaming rooms with poker machines will be fully available to members provided a 1.5-metre space is observed between players.
’This may involve switching off machines, removing chairs and/or physically spacing out machines to separate individuals,’ the document says.
In a statement, Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said that the decision is driven by both health and economic considerations.
’We are working closely with a range of industry groups to save businesses and jobs, but they must comply with the rules and will be closely supervised.’Gambling: Tell us your storyABC Investigations wants your help to find out more about what happens behind the scenes of Australia’s gambling industry; to hear from people who have worked inside the industry and those who have lost money.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that gaming venues could ’possibly’ be allowed to reopen as part of ’step three’ of his proposed path out of lockdown by July.
At the time, Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy confirmed it would be step three before ’gaming type venues’ could reopen.
But it seems that NSW is moving ahead of that advice, and other states with lower infection rates, which do not have plans to reopen gaming rooms as quickly.
In Victoria, gaming rooms are due to remain closed throughout June with no plans yet to reopen.
In Queensland, poker machines are still in lockdown and won’t be accessible until at least July 10 according to its ’step-down approach’ to COVID-19.
In South Australia, which has only one active case of COVID-19, there is no date set for when poker machine rooms can reopen.
A spokesperson for the Attorney-General in South Australia told the ABC: ’Poker machines have always been at step 3, following the Prime Minister’s advice.’If you or anyone you know needs help:

*Beyond Blue on 1300 22 46 36
Anti-gambling advocate Reverend Tim Costello is concerned that NSW is acting too quickly.
’Pokies venues are frequented by elderly people who are most at risk,’ he said.
’ClubsNSW are boasting how they have influenced this policy in terms of lifting the cap of 500. It means these venues have the largest numbers allowed — all for pokies profits.’
ClubsNSW is considered one of the most powerful lobby groups in the country.
It has previously been credited with scuttling proposed reforms to reduce poker machine harm such as maximum $1 bets and mandatory pre-commitment.
The organisation has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Berejiklian Government guaranteeing gaming tax concessions to registered clubs.
The ClubsNSW document advises member clubs that further changes are still possible and subject to ’parliamentary drafting’.
There are massive economic and financial implications at stake — previous estimates made by the industry predicted that unless they were able to reopen soon, up to 40 per cent of clubs could be forced to close permanently.
A ClubsNSW Briefing paper revealed that about 80 per cent of clubs staff — or 35,808 people — have been stood down since the enforced shutdown was announced on March 22.
A spokesman for ClubsNSW said previously clubs had on average experienced an 87 per cent decline in monthly revenue, resulting in a collective $212 million monthly net loss.
Anti-gambling advocates argue the closure of gaming venues has been a welcome relief: earlier this week, the Alliance for Gambling Reform claimed that NSW residents had saved more than $1 billion since poker machines were switched off and an additional $18.1 million per day while they remain off.
The NSW State Government has already deferred payment of millions of dollars in poker machine taxes from previous quarters until September 1.
ClubsNSW did not get everything it asked for during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A source close to the Government told the ABC it resisted lobbying from ClubsNSW to allow club members to gamble online through a clubs portal during the lockdown.
In a statement, ClubsNSW said it ’has not lobbied to allow club members to gamble online through a clubs portal during the lockdown.’Do you know more?Please fill out the ABC Investigations gambling story tips form, or text message the team via the WhatsApp or Signal mobile apps on 0418 347 462.

The information contained in the ClubsNSW circular, Further Information on Easing of Restrictions on Clubs, said the guidelines were ’confirmed by NSW Health and the Chief Health Officer following ClubsNSW’s Engagement’.

In April, ClubsNSW put forward a plan to NSW Premier Gladys Berejikian to reopen venues which was reviewed by ’an eminent infectious disease expert’.
The ClubsNSW circular sent out this week says that the reopening will stop short of previously discussed measures and ’temperature checking of patrons will not be required’.
A NSW Health Checklist provided to clubs states that businesses should develop a COVID-19 Safety Plan to comply with Public Health Orders.
It includes a directive to ’clean frequently touched areas and surfaces several times per day with a detergent or disinfectant solution or wipe … this includes electronic gaming machines.’
The ClubsNSW circular does not provide any specific instructions on how this will be carried out.
Minister Dominello told the ABC: ’The number one priority is saving lives and community safety.’
Noting that penalties apply for breaches of public health orders, ClubsNSW CEO Josh Landis also warned individual clubs across the state that there would be a cost for not following the rules.
’ClubsNSW strongly urges clubs not to seek to push the boundaries of these very generous conditions to avoid significant reputational damage to the club, management and the industry.’Share your gambling story with usWe know gambling is a widespread national issue affecting millions of Australians.So, we want your help to find out more about what happens behind the scenes of Australia’s gambling industry; to hear from people who have worked inside the industry and those who have lost money.

Some licensed venues can continue to sell takeaway alcohol and deliveries under the current arrangements.
This has been made possible by the Deputy Secretary of the Better Regulation Division of the Department of Customer Service issuing a Statement of Regulatory Intent that outlines how compliance with certain requirements will be approached.
The statement indicates that a flexible approach will be taken where licensed venues wish to provide home delivery or takeaway services, even where those liquor licences do not authorise the sale of alcohol for consumption away from the premises.
Licence types that may sell alcohol for takeaway and/or home delivery in NSW at the moment include:
*Small bars
*Licensed cafes and restaurants
*General bars
*Clubs
*Microbreweries and small distilleries
*Bottle shops
*Online delivery companies
Licence types that are not allowed to sell takeaway liquor and/or home deliver in NSW include:
*Limited licence – multiple functions if there is no defined premises
*Limited licence – single function
You can only sell takeaway liquor and/or home deliver liquor if you have a current liquor licence – unlicensed venues are not able to sell liquor under any circumstances.
Any sale of liquor, including takeaway sales and taking or processing orders for home delivery, must occur from the registered address of the licensed premises.
No. Unlicensed venues are not able to sell liquor under any circumstances. The sale of liquor without a licence is an offence that carries a maximum penalty of $11,000 in fines, 12 months imprisonment, or both.
No. Any sale of liquor, including takeaway sales and taking or processing orders for home delivery, must occur from the registered address of the licensed premises.
It depends on your circumstances.
If you hold a current liquor licence for a small bar, licensed café or restaurant, hotel, club, microbrewery or distillery, bottle shop, or online delivery company – under the current arrangements you do not need to apply for a new liquor licence to sell takeaway liquor and/or home deliver.
If you do not hold one of the liquor licences listed above, then you will need to apply for a new liquor licence to sell takeaway liquor and/or home deliver.
Yes, you can only sell liquor during the existing trading hours on your licence.
However, if you have trading hours which extend beyond midnight you cannot sell liquor after midnight (or 11pm on Sundays). This is because bottle shops and hotels must cease takeaway and home delivery liquor sales at these times.
There are no explicit limits on the volume of alcohol that can be supplied for consumption away from the licensed premise. However, formal regulations will be put in place should examples of inappropriate practices emerge.
There are no restrictions on the type of alcohol. Pre-mixed cocktails are permitted.
Microbreweries can repackage products for takeaway sale. For example, keg beer can be repackaged into growlers (glass bottles) for takeaway sale.
Yes, compliance and enforcement action will be considered where risks to the community arise.
In particular, we will be monitoring and will take action in relation to:
*the sale or supply of alcohol to intoxicated persons, and/or
*sale or supply of alcohol to minors.
These are serious offences and will attract the strong, regulatory attention of Liquor & Gaming NSW.
See our website for more information on appropriate evidence of age and prevention of intoxication, which may assist in preparing policies and procedures and clarifying legislative obligations.
The Statement of Regulatory Intent applies to regulatory action under the Liquor Act 2007 only. If you have any conditions on your development consent restricting sales of liquor for consumption off-premises you need to speak with your local development consent authority.
No, however you should be aware of and comply with your Responsible Service of Alcohol obligations. We will be monitoring and take action in relation to:
*the sale or supply of alcohol to intoxicated persons, and/or
*sale or supply of alcohol to minors.
