Notes |
|
1. | 6-hour closure still applies. Liquor licences granted from 30 October 2008, along with licences that have an extended trading authorisation granted from that date and licences that are removed to another location from that date, are subject to a daily 6-hour closure for retail sales. This 6-hour closure continues to apply during the Easter period. |
2. | Extended trading on Good Friday morning. If you already have an approved extended trading authorisation that allows on-premises sales past midnight until any time up to 5am, you may utilise that authorisation on Good Friday morning. |
3. | Trading outside these hours can only be approved under an extended trading authorisation. If approved, sales between 5am and midnight must be in a dining area only with or ancillary to a meal. Trading outside noon to 10pm is not permitted for a public entertainment venue (other than a cinema or theatre). |
4. | Vessel trading hours. Normal trading for vessels is one hour before the vessel starts any voyage or passage and ending 30 minutes after the voyage or passage is completed (or during other times approved by the Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority). |
5. | On-premises licence promoting local products. An approved take away sales authorisation cannot be utilised on Good Friday. |
6. | Trading between midnight on Good Friday and 5am on Easter Saturday is not permitted for hotels and public entertainment venues (other than a cinema or theatre). |
7. | Packaged liquor licence trading on Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday trading may not be permitted under the Shop Trading Act 2008. Refer to the Office of Industrial Relations website for more information. |
