This Part binds the Crown in right of New South Wales and, in so far as the legislative power of Parliament permits, the Crown in all its other capacities.
An application for the granting of a licence may be made to the relevant licensing authority by any individual aged 18 years or more, by any partnership or other association whose members are all individuals aged 18 years or more or by any corporation.
If the relevant licensing legislation provides for the issuing of different classes of licence, the application must specify the class of licence sought by the applicant.

If in the case of a fixed-term licence the relevant licensing legislation provides for the issuing of licences for varying terms, the application must specify the term of licence sought by the applicant.
An application for the replacement of a licence may be made to the relevant licensing authority by the licensee if the licence is lost, damaged or destroyed.
An application may be made in writing or by means of electronic communication.
An application with respect to a partnership or other association may be made on its behalf by any duly authorised member or employee.
An application with respect to a corporation may be made on its behalf by any director or by any duly authorised employee.
If made in writing, an application—

(b) must be signed—
(i) by the applicant, and
(ii) in the case of an application for the transfer of a licence, by the proposed transferee, and
(c) must be lodged with, or sent to, the relevant licensing authority.
If made by means of electronic communication, an application—

(b) must be authenticated, as required by the relevant licensing authority—
(i) by the applicant, and
(ii) in the case of an application for the transfer of a licence, by the proposed transferee, and
(c) must be lodged with the relevant licensing authority in accordance with that authority’s information technology requirements for the receipt of electronic communications.
A single application may be made to the same licensing authority in relation to more than one licence.
An applicant must make provision, as required by the relevant licensing authority, for paying any fees payable under the relevant licensing legislation in connection with the application.
In the case of an application made by means of electronic communication, any processing fee that is otherwise payable in respect of the application—
(a) is to be reduced by $5, or
(b) is to be reduced by 10 per cent, and rounded to the nearest whole dollar,
whichever results in the greater reduction.
The relevant licensing authority may serve notice on an applicant requiring the applicant to provide—
(a) such information further to the original information contained in the application, and
(b) such documentary or other evidence (such as a photograph of the applicant) in support of the original or further information,
as the authority may require to enable it to deal with the application.
Part 4A makes special provision for photographic identification for some licences.
In particular, the relevant licensing authority may require an applicant to provide—
(a) details of any offence for which the applicant has been convicted or found guilty in this State or elsewhere (together with details of any penalty imposed for the offence), and
(b) details of any criminal proceedings pending against the applicant in this State or elsewhere.
If the applicant fails to comply with the requirements of a notice referred to in subsection (1) within 14 days after the notice is served, the relevant licensing authority may refuse the application without dealing with it any further.
The refusal of an application under this section entitles the applicant to a refund of fees under section 22 but not to a right of review under section 23.
This section applies to any application that, pursuant to the relevant licensing legislation, is required to be advertised.
Notice of such an application must be published in at least one daily newspaper circulating throughout New South Wales—
(a) by the applicant, or
(b) by the relevant licensing authority,
as the relevant licensing legislation requires.
The notice must indicate—
(a) that any person may make submissions to the relevant licensing authority with respect to the application, and
(b) the procedure by which, and the date before which, any such submission must be lodged.
The date referred to in subsection (3)(b) may be any date occurring not earlier than 14 days, and not later than 28 days, after the date on which notice is first published under this section.
An applicant may withdraw an application at any time before a licence is issued under section 20.
The withdrawal of an application under this section entitles the applicant to a refund of fees under section 22.
For the purpose of enabling an applicant to exercise any rights of appeal or review, a licensing authority is taken to have made a decision to refuse the application if it has failed to determine the application within 28 days after the application is made.
A licensing authority’s failure to determine an application within the period referred to in subsection (1) does not prevent the authority from continuing to deal with the application after that period has expired.
In calculating a period referred to in subsection (1), the following periods are to be excluded—
(a) any period between—
(i) the date on which a request for further information or supporting evidence is made under section 14, and
(ii) the date on which that further information or supporting evidence is furnished,
(b) any period between—
(i) the date on which a notice is published under section 15 with respect to the application, and
(ii) the date fixed by the notice as the date by which any submission with respect to the application must be lodged,
(c) in the case of an application that the relevant licensing authority is required to refer to some other person or body for consideration, whether under the relevant licensing legislation or otherwise, any period (not exceeding 14 days) between—
(i) the date on which the authority refers the application to that other person or body, and
(ii) the date on which the authority receives a response to that reference from that other person or body,
(d) in the case of an application with respect to a person whom the relevant licensing authority has referred for assessment (whether or not to some other person or body) in connection with the determination of the application, any period between—
(i) the date on which the authority refers the applicant for assessment, and
(ii) the date on which the authority obtains or receives the results of the assessment.
A licensing authority may make either of the following decisions with respect to an application—
(a) a decision to grant the application, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as are authorised or required by the relevant licensing legislation,
(b) a decision to refuse the application.
Before making its decision with respect to an advertised application, the licensing authority must have regard to such submissions as have been made in accordance with section 15.
A licensing authority must cause notice of its decision under section 18 on an application to be served on the applicant and (in the case of an advertised application to which any objection has been made) on each objector within 14 days after the decision is made.
If the decision is that the application is to be granted but the relevant licensing legislation requires payment of any fee in connection with the licence before it is issued under section 20, the notice must indicate the amount of the fee to be paid.
As soon as practicable after an applicant or (in the case of an advertised application to which any objection has been made) an objector so requests, the relevant licensing authority must cause notice of the reasons for its decision to be served on the applicant or objector.
Subsection (3) does not apply to any decision in respect of which there is a right of administrative review by the Civil and Administrative Tribunal under section 23.
A licensing authority that grants an application must issue to the applicant an original or replacement licence, as the case requires.
The licence is to be issued—
(a) if the relevant licensing legislation requires payment of any fee in connection with the licence before it is issued, on payment of the fee, or
(b) in any other case, when notice of the licensing authority’s decision is served on the applicant as referred to in section 19.
A licence—
(a) must be in a form approved by the licensing authority, and
(b) must include the following particulars—
(i) a unique identifier,
(ii) the name of the licensee,
(iii) the kind of licence it is, whether by reference to the provision of the relevant licensing legislation or otherwise,
(iv) the authority conferred by the licence and (in the case of a licence that is subject to discretionary conditions) a statement to that effect,
(v) the date on which the licence comes into force and (in the case of a fixed-term licence) the date on which the licence expires, and
(c) may include such other particulars as the licensing authority considers appropriate to include in the licence.
A licence may indicate the kind of licence it is, and the authority it confers, by reference to words, codes or symbols prescribed for that purpose by the relevant licensing legislation.
A single document may contain one or more licences together with one or more certificates of registration under Part 3.
Subject to subsection (2), a licence comes into force—
(a) on the date on which it is issued, or
(b) on such other date (whether earlier or later) as is specified in the licence.
A renewed (but not a restored) licence comes into force on the date following the expiry date of the licence it renews.
A licence that comes into force before the date on which it is issued has effect in relation to the period before that date for the purposes only of this Act and the relevant licensing legislation.
Unless sooner cancelled, a fixed-term licence remains in force for such period as is specified in the licence.
If an application for renewal of a licence is made before the date on which the licence would otherwise expire, the licence remains in force, for the purposes only of this Act and the relevant licensing legislation, until the date on which the applicant is notified of the relevant licensing authority’s decision on the application.
Subsection (5) does not affect any requirements (such as requirements as to insurance) that must be complied with by a licensee under the relevant licensing legislation.
Without limiting any other circumstances in which a licence may be cancelled, a licence is taken to be cancelled for the purposes of this section if the licensee surrenders the licence to the relevant licensing authority together with a notice to the effect that the licensee intends that the licence be cancelled.
Subject to subsection (7), nothing in this section authorises the suspension or cancellation of a licence.
All fees paid in connection with an application that is refused (other than any processing fee) are to be refunded to the applicant.
An applicant who is aggrieved by the relevant licensing authority’s decision to refuse the application, or to grant the application subject to discretionary conditions, may apply for a review of the decision—
(a) to the extent to which the relevant licensing legislation provides the applicant with a right of appeal or review, in accordance with the right so provided, or
(b) to the extent to which the relevant licensing legislation does not provide the applicant with such a right, to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (with the review being an administrative review under the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997).
An objector who is aggrieved by the relevant licensing authority’s decision to grant an advertised application, either generally or because the authority has failed to impose particular discretionary conditions, may apply for a review of the decision—
(a) to the extent to which the relevant licensing legislation provides the objector with a right of appeal or review, in accordance with the right so provided, or
(b) to the extent to which the relevant licensing legislation does not provide the objector with such a right, to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (with the review being an administrative review under the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997).
The parties to proceedings before the Civil and Administrative Tribunal on an administrative review arising under subsection (1)(b) or (2)(b) include, in the case of an advertised application in respect of which any objection has been duly made under section 15, any objector who, in accordance with the procedural rules (within the meaning of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013), gives notice to the Tribunal of the objector’s wish to become a party to the application for the review.
It is a condition of a licence (whether fixed-term or continuing) that the licensee must notify the relevant licensing authority, within 14 days after the change, of any change that occurs in the licensee’s name, address or other registered particulars.
It is a condition of a continuing licence that the licensee must notify the relevant licensing authority, within 14 days after each anniversary of the date on which the licence was issued, that the licensee’s registered particulars have not changed since the more recent of the following—

(b) the date on which the licensee last gave notice under this section.
It is a condition of a continuing licence that the licensee must, within 14 days after each anniversary of the date on which the licence was issued, pay to the relevant licensing authority a licence administration fee of an amount prescribed by or under the relevant licensing legislation.
If payment is made by means of electronic communication, the licence administration fee otherwise payable—
(a) is to be reduced by $5, or
(b) is to be reduced by 10 per cent, and rounded to the nearest whole dollar,
whichever results in the greater reduction.
A certificate that is issued by a licensing authority and that states that, on a specified date or during a specified period—
(a) a specified person was or was not a licensee under a specified licence or under a licence of a specified kind, or
(b) a specified person’s licence was or was not in specified terms, or
(c) a specified person’s licence was or was not subject to specified conditions, or
(d) a specified person’s licence was or was not suspended or cancelled,
is admissible in legal proceedings as evidence of the matters so stated.
This section is in addition to any provision of the relevant licensing legislation with respect to evidentiary certificates.
Any notice that a licensing authority is authorised or required by this Part to serve on a person may be served—
(a) in the case of an individual—
(i) by delivering it personally to the individual, or
(ii) by sending it by post, addressed to the individual at the address recorded in the register as the individual’s residential address, business address or address for service of notices, or

In the case of joint applicants or joint licensees, any notice that under this Part is required to be served on an applicant or licensee is taken to have been served on all of them when it is served on any one of them.
This section does not affect any other Act or law with respect to the service of notices or other documents.
The facsimile copy of an application sent by facsimile transmission is taken to be in writing and has the same effect as the original and, for that purpose, a facsimile signature on the facsimile copy has the same effect as an original signature.
This section does not apply to any document that accompanies an application.
Any fee payable in connection with a licence or an application for a licence may be recovered by the relevant licensing authority as a debt in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(a) any period between—
(i) the date on which a request for further information or supporting evidence is made under section 43, and

(ii) the date on which the authority receives a response to that reference from that other person or body,
(d) in the case of an application with respect to a person whom the relevant registration authority has referred for assessment (whether or not to some other person or body) in connection with the determination of the application, any period between—

A registration authority may make either of the following decisions with respect to an application—

Before making its decision with respect to an advertised application, the registration authority must have regard to such submissions as have been made in accordance with section 44.
A registration authority must cause notice of its decision under section 47 on an application to be served on the applicant and (in the case of an advertised application to which any objection has been made) on each objector within 14 days after the decision is made.
If the decision is that the application is granted but the relevant registration legislation requires payment of any fee in connection with registration before a certificate of registration is issued under section 49, the notice must indicate the amount of the fee to be paid.
As soon as practicable after an applicant or (in the case of an advertised application to which any objection has been made) an objector so requests, the relevant registration authority must cause notice of the reasons for its decision to be served on the applicant or objector.
Subsection (3) does not apply to any decision in respect of which there is a right of administrative review by the Civil and Administrative Tribunal under section 52.
A registration authority that grants an application for registration—

(b) must record in the relevant register such other particulars as the relevant registration legislation requires to be recorded in the register, and
(c) may record in the relevant register such other particulars as the relevant registration legislation authorises to be recorded in the register, and
(d) must issue a certificate of registration to the applicant.
The certificate of registration is to be issued—
(a) if the relevant registration legislation requires payment of any fee in connection with registration before the certificate is issued, on payment of the fee, or
(b) in any other case, when notice of the decision is served on the applicant as referred to in section 48.
A certificate of registration—
(a) must be in a form approved by the registration authority, and
(b) must include the following particulars—
(i) a unique identifier,
(ii) the particulars recorded in the register under subsection (1)(a), and
(c) may include such other particulars as the registration authority considers appropriate to include in the certificate.
The registration authority may issue replacement certificates of registration not only in response to an application by the registered person under Division 2 but also whenever there is a change in the particulars recorded in the register under subsection (1)(a) in relation to the registered person.
A certificate of registration may indicate the kind of registration it refers to, and the authority conferred by registration, by reference to words, codes or symbols prescribed for that purpose by the relevant registration legislation.
A single document may contain one or more certificates of registration together with one or more licences under Part 2.
Subject to subsection (2), registration comes into force—
(a) on the date on which the relevant certificate of registration is issued, or
(b) on such other date (whether earlier or later) as is specified in the certificate.
Renewed (but not restored) registration comes into force, or is taken to have come into force, on the date following the expiry date of the registration it renews.
Registration that comes into force before the date on which the relevant certificate of registration is issued has effect in relation to the period before that date for the purposes only of this Act and the relevant registration legislation.
Unless sooner cancelled, fixed-term registration remains in force for such period as is specified in the relevant certificate of registration.
If an application for renewal of registration is made before the date on which registration would otherwise expire, registration remains in force, for the purposes only of this Act and the relevant registration legislation, until the date on which the applicant is notified of the relevant registration authority’s decision on the application.
Subsection (5) does not affect any requirements (such as requirements as to insurance) that must be complied with by a registered person under the relevant registration legislation.

(a) to the extent to which the relevant registration legislation provides the applicant with a right of appeal or review, in accordance with the right so provided, or
(b) to the extent to which the relevant registration legislation does not provide the applicant with such a right, to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (with the review being an administrative review under the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997).
An objector who is aggrieved by the relevant registration authority’s decision to grant an advertised application, either generally or because the authority has failed to impose particular discretionary conditions, may apply for a review of the decision—
(a) to the extent to which the relevant registration legislation provides the objector with a right of appeal or review, in accordance with the right so provided, or
(b) to the extent to which the relevant registration legislation does not provide the objector with such a right, to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (with the review being an administrative review under the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997).
The parties to proceedings before the Civil and Administrative Tribunal on an administrative review arising under subsection (1)(b) or (2)(b) include, in the case of an advertised application in respect of which any submission has been duly made under section 44, any objector who, in accordance with the procedural rules (within the meaning of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013), gives notice to the Tribunal of the objector’s wish to become a party to the application for the review.

(b) is to be reduced by 10 per cent, and rounded to the nearest whole dollar,
whichever results in the greater reduction.

(b) a specified person’s registration was or was not in specified terms, or
(c) a specified person’s registration was or was not subject to specified conditions, or

In the case of joint applicants or joint registered persons, any notice that under this Part is required to be served on an applicant or registered person is taken to have been served on all of them when it is served on any one of them.
This section does not affect any other Act or law with respect to the service of notices or other documents.
The facsimile copy of an application sent by facsimile transmission is taken to be in writing and has the same effect as the original and, for that purpose, a facsimile signature on the facsimile copy has the same effect as an original signature.
This section does not apply to any document that accompanies an application.
Any fee payable in connection with registration or an application for registration may be recovered by the relevant registration authority as a debt in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(Section 82)
In this Part—
Any application made under the unamended licensing legislation or unamended registration legislation that has not been determined when that legislation is amended by this Act is to be determined in accordance with that legislation as if this Act had not been enacted.
Any licence or registration—
(a) that was in force under the unamended licensing legislation or unamended registration legislation when that legislation is amended by this Act, or
(b) that is granted under the unamended licensing legislation or unamended registration legislation as referred to in clause 2,
is taken to have been granted under the amended licensing legislation or amended registration legislation, as the case requires.
Subject to clause 2, any provision of the unamended licensing legislation or the unamended registration legislation that requires an application to be signed does not have effect with respect to an application that is made by means of electronic communication.
Such an application must instead be authenticated as required by the relevant licensing or registration authority.
Subject to clause 2, any provision of the unamended licensing legislation or the unamended registration legislation—
(a) that requires information contained in an application to be verified by statutory declaration, or
(b) that requires information provided in connection with an application to be verified by statutory declaration,
does not have effect with respect to an application, whether made in writing or by means of electronic communication.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is declared that section 307A of the Crimes Act 1900, as amended by this Act, extends to any statement made in connection with an application referred to in subclause (1).
Subject to clause 2, any provision of the unamended licensing legislation or the unamended registration legislation that requires an application to be accompanied by documentary or other evidence of any matter does not have effect with respect to an application that is made by means of electronic communication.
Nothing in this clause prevents the relevant licensing or registration authority from requiring the provision of such documentary or other evidence pursuant to section 14, 43 or 70, as the case requires, as if that section were in force with respect to the application concerned.
Any requirement to disclose information concerning any conviction or finding of guilt that is imposed on an applicant under section 14, 43 or 70 extends to any conviction or finding of guilt that occurred before the commencement of this Act.
The regulations under any Act amended by Schedule 4 may contain provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment this Act.
Such a provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to this Act or a later day.
To the extent to which such a provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as—
(a) to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of that publication, or
(b) to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of that publication.
