Council-run events with licenced venues must comply with the Queensland Liquor Act 1992 and provide one security guard for every 100 people within an allocated area.
Automating the current manual process of counting patron numbers will help to better manage safety and security requirements, ensure these areas remain within capacity limits, optimise overall attendee experience, and reduce operational costs to council.
