Western Australia is considering rules that would allow licensed venues to trade beyond standard hours during key sporting events on a more permanent basis, according to multiple reports. The proposal would let venues continue selling alcohol into the early morning after certain broadcasts end. Under the plan, successful applicants would be permitted to remain open for an additional 30 minutes following the conclusion of a match that triggers the extended hours. The coverage is consistent across outlets, describing the extension as tied to the broadcast end time rather than a fixed clock cutoff. The reports also frame the change as moving toward “permanent” extended trading arrangements for eligible venues during specified sporting events, rather than treating the measure as a one-off permission. Details about which events qualify and the application process were not included in the provided summaries, but all sources agree on the core mechanism: an extra 30-minute trading period after qualifying sporting broadcasts conclude.
