NRL fans will be able to enjoy footy fever together for longer after this weekend\u2019s grand final with pubs, clubs and bars to stay open later, thanks to the NSW Government\u2019s special event extended trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans of the Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm will be able to celebrate or commiserate until midnight on Sunday 6 October, at all eligible licensed premises which show a live broadcast of the season finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special event extended trading hours are made available under the Liquor Act 2007 for events that are of \u201cregional, state or national significance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative is designed to supports the state\u2019s venues and encourages a vibrant nightlife for residents and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The additional opening hours apply only to drinks sold on premises, not takeaway alcohol sales or the operation of gaming machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any individual trading restrictions or special conditions that apply to a venue\u2019s liquor licence also remain in place for these events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
