Arrangements at the Premises with respect to:

Lighting

The Club has adequate lighting from its entrance and around its external areas. These lights are to turn on at dusk and turn off at 1am. The main car parking area available to Club guests is at the front entrance to the club and is well lit after dark.

Noise

To ensure the Club meets its license obligations in respect to noise, management monitor DB output external to the club to ensure that it does not exceed levels set through legislation. The current liquor license at the Club clearly states the guidelines for the approval of live or amplified music. Dalby Leagues club Inc holds the utmost respect for the local community and particularly our neighbors and thus duly considers the impact that any noise from the club may have on them. We have found that reiterating the rules up front to private functions or entertainers has avoided any concerns and issues to date.

Security

The Club has a house policy that one registered security officer will be roving the premises when management deems it necessary.

Transport services

The Club is fortunate to have a courtesy bus located in front of the main building. This is accessible to members and their guests. Furthermore, there is also access to a taxi service in town. Staff members are trained to call taxis for customers on request.

Dealing with minors on the premises

Dealing with minors on the premises is part of the in-house and official RSA training. All staff members know that any minor should be supervised and accompanied by an adult who is a parent or responsible adult. Minors are permitted to request drinks or service at any bar if they are not requesting alcohol. Minors can come on to the premises (unaccompanied) but they must meet one of the criteria in Section 155 (4) (e) to be considered an exempt minor - further, any minors that come on to the premises (unaccompanied) to have a meal are permitted to do so but are required to leave once the meal is finished, this does not apply for a packet of chips. Furthermore, staff members are trained to request proof of ID whenever they suspect the person may be under the age of 25. Policies dealing with fake ID issues are in place, and staff members know to advise their manager of any issue.

Staff at Dalby Leagues Club Inc are trained and reminded of their RSA responsibilities in relation to unduly intoxicated patrons. Staff members are also trained to report any disorderly patron issues to management immediately.

On occasions that Dalby Leagues Club Inc has a function finishing at midnight, management will ensure noise and behavior is kept at appropriate levels.

Waste from the Bistro is kept in a specific closed off area, and bottles are not tipped into the recycle bin until the next morning.
