Liquor Act 2007

In this clause—

The Authority is, on application by the holder of an existing general bar licence made during the period of 6 months (or such longer period as may be prescribed by the regulations) immediately following the commencement of this clause, to—

cancel the existing general bar licence, and

at the same time grant a small bar licence for the existing premises (a new licence) to the person who was the holder of the existing licence.

For the avoidance of any doubt, Division 3A of Part 3 of this Act applies to a new licence.

Any conditions imposed by or under this Act in relation to an existing general bar licence are, on the cancellation of the existing licence, taken to be conditions to which the new licence is subject.

Any strike incurred under Part 9A of this Act in respect of an existing general bar licence and in force immediately before the cancellation of the existing licence is taken to have been incurred in respect of the new licence.

Any proceedings commenced under Part 9 of this Act in relation to an existing general bar licence that were pending immediately before the cancellation of the existing licence may continue to be taken in relation to the new licence.

Any development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 for the existing premises extends to the premises to which the new licence relates.

If, on the cancellation of an existing general bar licence, the existing premises were declared premises within the meaning of Schedule 4, the new premises are taken to be declared premises until such time as that Schedule is amended to remove the reference to the existing general bar licence.

This clause is subject to the regulations.
