Liquor Act 2007

This clause applies to any of the following conditions (a live entertainment condition) of a licence that are in force immediately before the commencement—

a condition that restricts the genre of music that may be played or performed on the licensed premises,

a condition that restricts the number of musicians or live entertainment acts that may perform on the licensed premises,

a condition that restricts what type of instruments may be played on the licensed premises,

a condition that restricts the performance of original music,

a condition that restricts a stage for live performers from facing a particular direction,

a condition that prohibits live music, live entertainment or the amplification of a musical instrument at all times or across the entire licensed premises,

the local consent authority for the licensed premises, or

the Commissioner of Police, and

the Secretary is satisfied the quiet and good order of the neighbourhood of the licensed premises are being unduly disturbed as a result of the conditions mentioned in subclause (1) ceasing to have effect.

Section 80 does not apply to a complaint referred to in subclause (3)(a).

To remove any doubt, this clause does not affect another condition that may impact on entertainment that is provided on the licensed premises, or an area adjacent to the premises.
