Controversial ID scanners are expected to be removed from venues in Brisbane's Caxton Street precinct after the government supported recommendations from a review into curbing alcohol-fuelled violence.

Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath has promised to reduce the length of time venue bans remain on the system, limit the scanning rules for venues closing before midnight to peak periods, and consider pass-outs so venues don't have to re-scan re-entering patrons.

A review by experts from Deakin University, University of Queensland, James Cook University and La Trobe University of the state's laws to curb alcohol-fuelled violence led to the recommendations.

The review found patron numbers and violence in the Brisbane inner-west (Caxton Street) and Ipswich CBD safe night precincts (SNP) were low, particularly in Caxton Street on non-event nights.
