                              CLAUSE NOTES
                    Liquor Licensing Amendment Bill 2015

           Part 1 - Preliminary
Clause 1   Short title
Clause 2   Allows for provisions in the legislation to commence on a day or days to be
           proclaimed.
Clause 3   In this Act, the Liquor Licensing Act 1990 is referred to as the Principal Act.
Clause 4   A new section 2A is inserted, which establishes the objective of the Act. The
           objective aims to assist in the interpretation of the Act; guide regulatory bodies
           in their decision making responsibilities; and guide industry and the wider
           community in understanding the context and purpose of the Act.
           The clause clarifies that the overarching regulatory purpose of the Act is to
           regulate the sale, supply, promotion and consumption of liquor in order to
           minimise harm arising from the misuse of liquor and to facilitate the responsible
           development of the liquor and hospitality industries in a way that is in the best
           interest of the community.
           Further, the section requires that any regulatory authority performing functions
           or exercising power conferred by the Act must do so in accordance with the
           object of the Act.
Clause 5   A number of definitions are inserted into and amended in section 3.
           The term ‘barring order’ is defined as an order served under section 81(2) or
           (4) (see clause 84).
           The term ‘best interests of the community’ is defined as meaning interests that
           are prescribed in regulations. The ‘best interests of the community’ term is
           used in the object of the Act, in the decision making process for the granting of
           a permit or licence, and in the approval of alteration to the area of a licensed
           premises.
           Other references to ‘best interests of the community’ in the Act where the
           defined meaning is not applicable have been replaced with “public interest” to
           avoid confusion.
           The term ‘convicted’ is inserted to clarify that the definition includes being
           found guilty, whether or not a conviction is recorded.
           The term ‘intoxicated’ is defined in section 3B as someone exhibiting signs of
           being affected by alcohol or some other substance. This definition recognises
           that intoxication can result from substances other than or in combination with
           alcohol.
           The definition of ‘liquor’ is amended to allow for other alcoholic substances that
           are not in beverage form to be prescribed in regulations and defined as liquor



                                                                                  Page 1 of 13

 


 

for the purposes of this Act. The definition of ‘meal’ is inserted to help clarify areas in licensed premises in which persons under the age of 18 years cannot enter or remain. ‘Partner’ is defined as having the same meaning as the Relationships Act 2003. ‘Permit holder’ is defined as the holder of a permit. ‘Permit premises’ is defined as premises specified in a special or small producers permit on which liquor may be sold. ‘Resident’ is defined as a person who is able to provide evidence that he or she resides or is staying overnight in a part of the licensed premises set aside for accommodation. ‘Responsible adult’ is defined as a person over the age of 18 and is either a parent (or has parental responsibility), step parent, guardian, spouse, or partner of a minor, ‘Small producer’ is defined as a producer or class of producers that is prescribed in regulations. ‘Small producer permit’ is defined in a new section 15A. ‘Special permit’ is defined in an existing section 15. The term ‘vicinity’ is inserted to define the area in which a person is not permitted to enter in relation to licence/permit premises. The details of the distance may be prescribed in regulations or by Police officers when issuing barring orders. Clause 6 Amends section 3A to include permit applicants and permit holders within the meaning of associate. The meaning of associate is also broadened to include any person that the Commissioner is satisfied could exercise a significant influence over the applicant, licensee or permit holder. The term ‘de facto spouse’ is omitted from the definition of ‘relative’ and is substituted with the term ‘partner’ as defined in clause 5.

Clause 7 A new section 3B is inserted, which provides the meaning of the term ‘intoxicated’ (see clause 5) and replaces the previously undefined term ‘drunk’.

Conditions may not be added to licences that existed before the commencement of section 24 of the Liquor Licensing Amendment Act 2015 (unless the addition is a result of disciplinary action). The Commissioner must notify the licensee of any variations to licence conditions and their right of appeal.

Clause 25 Substitutes section 28, which provides for a licensee to apply to the Commissioner to transfer a licence, with a new section. The new section 28 provides for existing transfer provisions while providing the Commissioner the ability to gather further information from the applicant or transferee in consideration of the application, make further enquiries to allow proper consideration of the application, and seek a fit and proper assessment of the transferee and associates from the Commissioner of Police.

Clause 31 Inserts section 33A, which requires an applicant to advise the Commissioner of any change in circumstance in connection with an application for a permit as soon as reasonably practical before the application is determined (with any additional information forming part of the application). This ensures that an application is determined using correct information.

Inserts sections 34B, which provides for the Commissioner to vary conditions on a permit by written notice. The Commissioner must notify the permit holder of their right of appeal in relation to the varied conditions. The Commissioner must give at least 14 days’ notice of the variations unless satisfied that they should be effected more urgently. Inserts sections 34C, which provides for permit holder to apply for variations to permit conditions. The Commission may request further information from the applicant when considering the request to vary conditions. The Commission may only refuse or approve the requested variation and must inform the applicant of their right of appeal to the Commission.

Clause 35 Inserts section 38A, which allows the Minister to prohibit alcohol products by declaring them undesirable liquor products if it is in the public interest to do so. Once a product is declared an undesirable liquor product it is an offence for a person to sell such a product and a fine can be imposed.

These sections are incorporated under the new sections 99 and 105. Substitutes section 40, which enables the Commissioner to issue a written notice to a licensee or permit holder to comply with a direction. The section provides the Commissioner with the power to take disciplinary action if the licensee or permit holder fails to comply with a written notice. Clause 37 Amends section 43 so that conditions may be consistently applied to all liquor licences and permits. Clause 38 Repeals sections 44 and 45 that deal with variations of special licences; this is now dealt with in sections 34A, 34B and 34C (see clause 33).
