Broome Liquor Restrictions

Purchasing Alcohol in Broome

The way you can buy alcohol in the Shire of Broome is changing. As of 25th March 2020, the Takeaway Alcohol Management System (TAMS) will be in place. TAMS is a scanning technology system that implements a daily alcohol purchase limit. The scanners use legal personal identification to allow licensees to register how much an individual has purchased on any one day, across all takeaway liquor outlets within the Shire of Broome.
