The safety and security of people on and in the vicinity of licensed premises is a significant public
interest issue and one which licensees must give appropriate consideration to, having regard to the
nature of their licensed premises or event. The principle of implementing crowd control strategies,
particularly at licensed premises or events of high risk, is to deter, detect, delay and respond to
anti-social behaviour and crime that puts the safety, health or welfare of people resorting to the
licensed premises or in the vicinity of the licensed premises at risk. High risk licensed premises
or events include those that attract large numbers of people or trade late at night and into the early
hours of the following morning. Consequently, some licensees will be required under the Liquor
Control Act 1988 (“the Act”) to have crowd control measures in place. Where appropriate, and
in accordance with section 64 of the Act, this requirement will be made by way of the imposition
of conditions on the licence. In addition to crowd control strategies, closed circuit television video
(“CCTV”) surveillance systems contribute to the ‘deter and detect’ objectives of the security function at
+ licensed premises.
Ensuring the safety and protection of individuals at or around licensed premises is a significant issue of public interest. Licensees are responsible for considering this issue appropriately, based on the nature of their premises or event. The principle behind implementing crowd control strategies, especially in high-risk licensed premises or events, is to prevent, identify, slow down, and react to anti-social behavior and criminal activities that can jeopardize the well-being of those using or in the vicinity of licensed premises. High-risk premises or events are those that attract a large number of people or operate late into the night and early morning. According to the Liquor Control Act 1988 (“the Act”), some licensees will be required to implement crowd control measures. This requirement may be imposed through the imposition of conditions on the license, as authorized under section 64 of the Act. In addition to crowd control strategies, closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance systems also aid in the security function at licensed premises by contributing to the prevention and detection objectives.

An Act to prohibit smoking in certain public places, and for other purposes
An Act to prohibit smoking in certain public places, and for other purposes
Social Media, particularly Microblogging services, are now being adopted as an additional tool for emergency service agencies to be able to interact with the community at all stages of a disaster. Unfortunately, no standard framework for Social Media adoption for disaster management exists and emergency service agencies are adopting Social Media in an ad-hoc fashion. This paper seeks to provide a general understanding of how Socia Media is being used by emergency service agencies during disasters, to better understand how we might develop a standardised framework of adoption. In this study of the 2010/11 Queensland Flood event, Facebook broadcast messages from the Queensland Police Service to the general public, were analysed by genre. Findings show that these Microblogging activities were mostly about information distribution and warning broadcasts and that the strength of Social Media for two-way communication and collaboration with the general public, was underutilised during this event.
