A HILTON councillor has lodged an appeal against a decision to transfer a liquor licence from Hamilton Hill to the new Coles in Hilton, saying it sets a troubling precedent. The director of liquor …

Its the liquor license holder who can apply for the transfer. If they’re moving, even if they’re Liquorland, they should be allowed to take it.

And who knows, if the property goes up for sale maybe another liquor store will be put in the same location? Thats probably naive of me, this is Coles we’re talking about.

There’d be somewhere else in the neighbourhood someone could open another and perhaps better liquor store.

Maybe Dan Murphy’s will come and plonk one of their big green boxes somewhere really high traffic and cause the spot to be even more horrendous. Thats always fun!
