South Australia's 3AM Lockout Under Fire | Adelaide News

South Australia’s nightlife industry is pushing to scrap the 3 AM bar lockout, calling it outdated and costly, and proposing a data-driven 12-month trial instead. Under the plan, police and hospital data would track violence and alcohol-related incidents per patron to assess safety — all while keeping existing responsible service rules. With Adelaide’s new CBD policing precinct set to boost officer numbers, the group argues enforcement will be more effective than blanket restrictions. They also highlight the music industry’s economic impact, warning outdated laws could stifle growth — and the government will use trial data to decide if the lockout should stay or go.
