This article on 4bars.com.au tells us New South Wales town planning is also playing catch up with the liquor licensing legislation. B³ is working to speed up the change in Queensland.
In some areas of Brisbane an application for a bar licence is less complicated than it is in others. The first bar licence to be approved is in South Brisbane/Woolloongabba at Caro Mio, a classic 30s style cafe and jazz bar now licensed and offering movies on the weekends. In this pocket of South Brisbane the town planning regulations classify a hotel as a Self Assessable application. When will the rest of the state be brought into line?
