Trial restrictions on the sale of four litre and five litre casks, as well as all fortified wine and port casks are set to come into place in Whyalla.
The trial is expected to run for three months, starting on 14 April.
The move was considered by the Whyalla Liquor Accord, whicle includes local liquor licensees, South Australia Police, liquor and gambling regulator Consumer and Business Services and the Whyalla City Council.
Commissioner of Liquor and Gambling Bretty Humphrey said the trial will focus on its impact towards the anti-social behaviour and alcohol-related harm in Whyalla and its surrounding areas.
“Trialling these changes for three months, will help us get an indication of whether limiting the sale of cask wine has an impact on the issues confronting Whyalla,” he said.
Consumer and Business Services will monitor the data over the coming months to determine the next steps following the trial.
The trial is set to end on 18 July.
