LIQUOR ACT 1982—REGULATION

(Prescribing an additional “person authorised to sell liquor”)

NEW SOUTH WALES

[Published in Gazette No. 109 of 6 September 1995]

HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council,
and in pursuance of the Liquor Act 1982, has been pleased to make the

Regulation set forth hereunder.

Richard Face,

Minister for Gaming and Racing.

Commencement

1. This Regulation commences on 6 September 1995.

Amendment

2. The Liquor Regulation 1983 is mended by inserting after clause 3B

the following clause:

Persons authorised to sell liquor
3C. (1) For the purposes of paragraph (d) of the definition of

“person authorised to sell Liquor’’ in section 4 (1) of the Act, the holder of the licence issued under section 18 of the Act (as modified and applied to and in respect of a casino by the Casino Control Regulation 1995 made under the Casino Control Act 1992) is prescribed.

(2) Subclause (1) does not apply in respect of the term “person

authorised to sell liquor” as used .in section 80 (3) (b) of the Act.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to prescribe the holder of a licence to sell or supply

liquor in a casino (within the meaning of the Casino Control Act 1992) as a “person
authorised to sell liquor” under the Liquor Act 1982.

1995—No. 550

However, the Regulation excludes that licensee from the meaning of the term “person authorised to sell liquor” as used in section 80 (3) (b) of the Liquor Act 1982 so as to remove the obligation on a wholesaler or brewer who sells liquor to the casino licensee to pay a periodic licence fee in respect of those sales. Under the provisions of the Liquor Act 1982 that are modified and applied to and in respect of a casino (by the Casino Control Regulation 1995), the licence fee is to be paid by the licensee.

This Regulation is made under the Liquor Act 1982, in particular, section 156 (the

general regulation-making power).
