Liquor Act 1992

This section applies if the commissioner is satisfied licensed premises for a producer/wholesaler licence are an artisan distillery.

The commissioner may impose a condition on the licence authorising the licensee to—

sell artisan spirits, produced by the licensee at the artisan distillery, to persons at a promotional event, for consumption away from the event; or

sell artisan spirits, produced by the licensee at the artisan distillery, to persons at a promotional event, for consumption at the event for the purpose of sampling the artisan spirits; or

sell artisan spirits to the holder of an artisan producer licence.

The authority under subsection (2)(a) and (b) applies during the hours the promotional event takes place unless a condition of the licence provides otherwise.

The commissioner must not impose a condition under subsection (2) if more than a combined total of 450,000 litres of spirits is produced, in each financial year, by the licensee and any related body corporate of the licensee under any licence, including a licence issued under the law of another State.

For subsection (2)(a), unless a further condition imposed on the licence under subsection (6)(a) states otherwise, the total volume of artisan spirits that may be sold to each person at the promotional event, for consumption away from the event, is 1.5 litres.

If the commissioner imposes a condition under subsection (2), the commissioner may also impose further conditions on the licence in relation to the following—

the total volume of the licensee’s artisan spirits that may be sold to each person at a promotional event for consumption away from the event;

for artisan spirits that may be sold to persons at a promotional event, for consumption at the event for the purpose of sampling the artisan spirits—

the total volume of artisan spirits that may be sold to each person at the event for the purpose of sampling; or

the volume of each of the individual samples that may be sold to persons at the event.

Unless a further condition imposed on the licence states otherwise, a regulation may prescribe, for artisan spirits that may be sold to persons at a promotional event for consumption at the event—

the total volume of artisan spirits that may be sold to each person at the event for the purpose of sampling; or

the volume of each of the individual samples that may be sold to persons at the event.

This section does not limit the power of the commissioner, under part 5, to impose, amend or revoke conditions on a licence.
