Local leaders support the decision to scrap the police-backed proposal and instead keep pandemic-era restrictions, such as volume limits and reduced hours at bottle shops.
Karratha and Districts Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Tanya Dodd said she did not support the blanket ban on takeaway alcohol and was glad it had been ruled out.
Ms Dodd said it would not be fair to implement far-reaching alcohol restrictions in the Pilbara and Kimberley, while the rest of the state was unaffected. "It should be across the board if the government wants to be serious about it, because domestic violence happens all around the world." "It has been a drive right across the leadership in the Kimberley to try and have some uniform restrictions," he said.
