Crown\u2019s licence to sell alcohol at restaurants and bars at its new property in Barangaroo, Sydney, has been extended until October 2021. Its gaming facilities remain closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Australia.- Crown Resorts has gained an extension on the liquor licence for its new development in Barangaroo <\/strong>in order to carry on serving alcohol in non-gaming areas. The licence has been renewed from May 1 to October 31, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-gaming facilities previously received an ILGA liquor licence on an interim basis from December 16 until April 30. Crown Resorts opened non-gaming facilities in December while it awaited the verdict of the New South Wales regulator’s inquiry into its casino operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company was found unsuitable to hold its casino licence and is now working with authorities<\/a> to try to retain its licence in order to open gaming facilities at the Sydney casino<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helen Coonan, Crown executive chairman, said: “Crown welcomes ILGA\u2019s approval of the new liquor licences for Crown Sydney Property Pty Ltd <\/strong>which will allow guests to continue to enjoy the non-gaming facilities at Crown Sydney<\/strong> as we work through this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Crown is continuing to work through the consultation process with ILGA as it seeks to restore regulatory confidence<\/strong> in its operations and give effect to the Restricted Gaming Licence in Sydney.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ILGA chairman Philip Crawford<\/strong> said Crown Resorts would need to make swift changes to be able to open the casino at the Barangaroo property. He said the resignations of some board members<\/a> meant “someone is listening to us<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Perth Crown has closed<\/a> until May 1 due to new Covid-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
