The amendment that I am proposing would allow limited and controlled sale of alcohol, at both sporting and non-sporting events, in designated areas of national sporting arenas and would regularise the licensing positions of these arenas. Moreover, many national sporting arenas find it difficult to generate sufficient income from sporting events alone to cover the cost of their operation. Increasingly, such facilities are being used for non-sporting events, such as conferences, exhibitions or seminars to support the operation of the arenas.
