Liquor Control Act 1988

A police officer may extend a banned drinker order made under section 152YR(2) if any of the following happen —

the officer believes on reasonable grounds that the banned drinker contravened the order;

the banned drinker is charged with an alcohol‑related offence;

the banned drinker is named as the person bound by a police FVRO, if the police officer who makes the police FVRO believes on reasonable grounds that the banned drinker was affected by liquor at the time of engaging in the conduct to which the police FVRO relates;

the banned drinker is taken into alcohol‑related protective custody;

the banned drinker is given an alcohol‑related infringement notice.

The banned drinker order can only be extended as follows —

a banned drinker order made for a period of 3 months can be extended to a period of 6 months;

a banned drinker order made for, or extended to, a period of 6 months can be extended to a period of 12 months;

a banned drinker order made for a period of 12 months, or extended to a period of 12 months or more, can be extended for a further period of up to 12 months.

A police officer who is not a senior officer must not extend a banned drinker order under subsection (1) unless the officer has the approval of a senior officer to extend the order.

If a police officer decides to extend the banned drinker order, the Commissioner of Police must ensure information about the extension is entered in the banned drinkers register.
