TROUBLEMAKERS could be banned from all licensed venues in their area as part of the NSW government's crackdown on anti-social behaviour.
Under the new guidelines, venues can impose five measures, with increasing severity, to ban troublesome patrons.
These include the ability for operators to liaise with other local licensees and invoke a multi-venue barring order against repeat serious offenders, ClubsNSW chief Anthony Ball said.
Instead of waiting for known troublemakers to cross the line before taking action, venues will now also be able to enact preemptive bans on "anyone who has caused problems at other pubs and clubs", Mr Ball said in a statement on Sunday.
"Once you're banned from one club in an area, you are likely to be banned from them all," he said.
A multi-venue barring order will be enforced against someone if they act violently or aggressively, vandalise property, refuse to leave a venue, use or sell drugs on the premises or engage in any criminal activity.
Information will be shared amongst licensees through local liquor accords, the members of which will also adjudicate on ban proposals.
NSW Hospitality minister George Souris said the new guidelines will help licensees keep venues safe.
"Patrons of licensed venues have a right to enjoy safe and responsible environments and should not have to put up with troublemakers who are intoxicated, violent, quarrelsome or disorderly," he said.
Anyone who is banned from all their local watering holes will be notified in writing and will be given an opportunity to have the decision reviewed, a document from the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing said.
"The big winners out of this are the millions of families and friends who go out to their local club each year to have a good time and enjoy themselves," Mr Ball said.
"These people shouldn't have to put up with the small number of people who cause problems for everyone else."
