Liquor Act 2007

This section applies to a condition of a licence if—

the condition—

prohibits or restricts live music or other entertainment, or

imposes sound limits or acoustic restrictions, and

the condition was imposed more than 3 years before the commencement of this section, and

the condition was imposed by the Secretary or the Authority.

The condition is revoked and has no effect.

The Secretary may impose a condition on the licence under Subdivision 2 in similar terms to the revoked condition.

The Secretary must not impose the condition unless the Secretary is satisfied sufficient grounds exist for imposing the condition.

A way in which the Secretary may be satisfied sufficient grounds exist is if the Secretary reasonably believes—

noise may be emitted from the licensed premises, and

the noise will unreasonably disturb persons who reside near the licensed premises.

This section is repealed on the day that is 3 years after the day on which this section commences.
