Corporate box attendees at Optus Stadium will be able to purchase full-strength beer while general public areas will be restricted to mid-strength after a determination by the WA Director of Liquor Licensing.

The alcohol restrictions, announced on Tuesday, will follow those already in place at the WACA Ground and Domain Stadium.

Under the newly awarded tavern licence, stadium operator VenuesLive can choose to serve full-strength beer, cider and spirits, depending on the duration and audience demographics of an event.

Optus Stadium chief executive Mike McKenna said the alcohol rules were in line with ensuring safety and security at the venue.
