Alcohol Secure and Safety grants now available
Territory businesses can now access support to increase the security of their liquor stock against theft or damage and to also improve the safety of workers.
The Alcohol Secure and Safety program provides financial assistance to liquor licensees for:
- Securing product: work that will result in the improved security of liquor stock, and;
- Worker safety: works to protect workers from anti-social or criminal behaviour while working.
Eligible businesses can access a maximum of $15,000 (GST exclusive) on a 25:75 co-contribution basis. This means businesses only have to contribute 25% of the total cost of approved works.
Businesses can also apply for multiple works for each premise from which it operates however, the total amount is capped at $15,000 (GST exclusive).
Secure product works are security enhancements that do not impact pedestrian flow or require external or structural compliance. These works can include CCTV, security screens, roller shutter of shelves enclosed cabinets or alarm systems.
Worker safety works are security items which protect workers from anti-social behaviour and crime. These works can include barriers or cashier screens, alarm systems, security lighting or smoke ad cloak distraction systems.
The Alcohol Secure and Safety program is part of a suite of measures introduced by the Territory Government aimed at improving community safety and the safety of workers.
The program complements the Northern Territory Government’s existing Biz Secure program which supports Territory businesses to undertake security improvements to protect against break-ins.
The Alcohol Secure and Safety program will close on 23, June 2024.
