it is not possible for the hotelier or registered club to comply with subclause (3)(a) because to do so would result in the hotelier or registered club contravening a law or instrument referred to in subclause (4)(a) or (b), and
the proposed location is the furthest possible location accessible to patrons from—
the nearest approved gaming machine, and
the nearest entrance to, or exit from, a gaming area in the hotel or club.
