General Comments.
In 2001 the Pine Rivers Shire Council, now part of the Moreton Bay Regional Council issued a statement of planning policy concerning pokies in new developments. Click here to read the policy.

There is a smoking area near the main entrance to the tavern which is directly accessible to all. This smoking area has a door that directly enters the pokie room. There is no sign on this door to indicate that it is the pokie room nor is there a notice excluding children from entry.

In 2007 a man was tasered outside this venue by police. Click here to read the full story.
