Liquor Act 1992

This section applies to a commercial special facility licence that—

is in force on the commencement; and

is not endorsed with an extended trading hours approval granted under part 4, division 7; and

purportedly authorises the sale of liquor on the licensed premises, on a day other than Anzac Day, Good Friday or Christmas Day, during a time starting at or after 12a.m. and ending at or before 5a.m. (the authorised post-midnight trading hours).

The licence is taken to be endorsed with an extended trading hours approval (the deemed approval) for trading during the authorised post-midnight trading hours.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that this Act, including a provision about the payment of licence fees, applies as if the deemed approval had been granted under part 4, division 7.

Despite subsection (2), an application for an extended trading hours approval, for trading during all or part of the authorised post-midnight trading hours, may be made and granted under part 4, division 7.

The deemed approval continues in force until—

an extended trading hours approval for trading during all or part of the authorised post-midnight trading hours is granted under part 4, division 7; or

the deemed approval is cancelled or otherwise ends under this Act.
