The Royal Hotel in Orange and the Town House Motor Inn in Cowra will be taken off the list, after both reduced their number of recorded incidents over the last year.

The Town House Motor Inn recorded only four incidents, a reduction of 71.4 per cent, while the Royal Hotel which recorded nine incidents had a reduction of 30.8 per cent.

The Oxford Hotel in Bathurst and the Waratah Hotel in Mudgee are now the only central west venues left on the most violent list.

According to the figures, 12 incidents were recorded at the Oxford Hotel and 13 at the Waratah Hotel in the last year.

As a result both hotels are classified as level two venues and must follow a list of restrictions, which includes no glass after midnight and no alcohol service in the 30 minutes before closing time.

Hospitality Minister George Souris said the violent venues list, based on the Bureau of Crime, Statistics and Research data for 2012, contained the lowest number of hotels since the scheme started in 2008. 

Mr Souris said the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing (OLGR) would be auditing the venues on the list.

“The Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing will be auditing the 16 named venues to ensure they have adequate venue management plans in place to help control the risk of alcohol-related violence on their premises.”

“OLGR will also conduct ongoing checks to enforce responsible service of alcohol practices and to monitor compliance with licence conditions."

Mr Souris said the NSW Government remained committed to working with local communities to implement measures to address alcohol-related violence, anti-social behaviour and other harm.

He said the OLGR was finalising a review of the violent venues scheme to ensure its ongoing effectiveness in reducing violent incidents in and around licensed venues.
