Tobacco Act 1987

A licensee may apply to the Regulator to relocate the licensed tobacco premises to another premises.

A relocation application must—

be in a form approved by the Regulator; and

specify, as the new proposed licensed tobacco premises, premises that are a permanent structure located in Victoria; and

include or be accompanied by any prescribed information; and

be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

The Regulator may request the applicant to provide any other document or information that the Regulator considers appropriate in relation to assessing the relocation application, which may include an assessment of the suitability of the applicant to continue to hold a licence.

Without limiting the document or information the Regulator may request under subsection (3), the Regulator may request the applicant to—

provide a criminal history check of the applicant or any associate of the applicant (or, if a criminal history check has already been provided, an updated criminal history check); and

verify any information included with or accompanying the application, or otherwise provided to the Regulator as required under this Act, including by way of statutory declaration.

If the applicant does not comply with a request under subsection (3)—

the application is taken to have been withdrawn on the day after the last day for compliance with the request; and

any fee paid by the applicant is forfeited.
