The Bungardi Aboriginal Community is declared to be a restricted area for the purposes of section 175(1a) of the Act.
The Director of Liquor Licensing must take all reasonable steps to cause to be posted, and while the Bungardi Aboriginal Community continues to be a restricted area by operation of regulation 5 to be kept posted, at each place where a customary access route enters the Bungardi Aboriginal Community a notice —

specifying the penalties for those offences.
A failure to comply with subregulation (1) does not invalidate the declaration in regulation 5.
A person commits an offence if the person —

has liquor in their possession in the Bungardi Aboriginal Community.
Penalty for this subregulation:
if subregulation (2) applies — a fine of $5 000;

This subregulation applies to an offence under subregulation (1) committed by a licensee, a manager of licensed premises or a director of a body corporate that holds a licence.
Despite section 155(4) and (5) of the Act, a member of the Police Force may seize and, as soon as is practicable, dispose of any opened or unopened container of liquor suspected on reasonable grounds to be the subject of an offence under regulation 7.
Unless sooner repealed, these regulations have effect for the period that ends at the close of 19 February 2028.
