Toowoomba will be one of four Safe Night Precincts across the state to adopt the 2am last call when laws come into effect on February 1 next year.

Brisbane's inner-west including Caxton St, and CBD venues in Cairns and Gladstone, will be subject to the earlier final call with no lock-out times enforced.
