EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM.

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LIQUOR (UPPER COTTER DAM) ORDINANCE 1958

No. 20 of 1958

	It is considered that it should be possible for facilities for the purchase of liquor to be made available on the Upper Cotter Dam project.

	None of the licences provided for by the Liquor Ordinance would be satisfactory.

	Owing to the isolated situation, limited period of operation, special conditions on the site, and the possibility of the need for changes in the arrangement in the light of experience, it is thought that authority for the conduct of a wet canteen should be given by a special Ordinance empowering the Minister to enter into an agreement setting out detailed arrangements.  It is proposed that beer only will be sold in glasses for consumption on the canteen premises.
