The Cessnock City Liquor Accord has officially launched its first-ever website, marking a major step forward in supporting the local hospitality industry and promoting the responsible service of alcohol across the Cessnock region.

The new online hub provides easy access to key information, resources, and initiatives aimed at helping local licensees, staff, and community partners stay informed and compliant. Designed to be both informative and user-friendly, the website brings together everything stakeholders need to understand the Accord’s purpose, policies, and upcoming events.

A Central Resource for Local Venues and the Community

Through the new website, users can explore:

  • About the Accord – learn more about its role in fostering safer and more vibrant licensed venues across the Cessnock LGA.

  • Membership Information – details on how local licensees can join the Accord and contribute to positive community outcomes.

  • Meeting Schedules and Minutes – transparency through regularly updated agendas, outcomes, and notices of upcoming meetings.

  • Resources and Compliance Tools – links to Liquor & Gaming NSW materials, Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) guidance, and local safety initiatives.

  • Community Updates – news and event information, including partnerships with police, council, and community stakeholders.

Enhancing Communication and Collaboration

The website represents a key milestone for the Accord, enabling better communication between licensees, law enforcement, and local government agencies. It also supports the Accord’s ongoing commitment to promoting responsible drinking, harm minimisation, and community wellbeing.

“This new platform brings all our information together in one place,” said [Accord Chairperson’s name, if you’d like to include a quote]. “It’s about improving engagement, sharing knowledge, and ensuring our local venues have the tools they need to operate safely and successfully.”
