under the

Liquor Act 1982

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Liquor Act 1982.

J. RICHARD FACE, M.P.,

Minister for Gaming and Racing

Explanatory note

Currently a restaurant with a seating capacity of 50 or less must have one male toilet, one urinal and one female toilet in order to obtain a liquor licence. The object of this Regulation is to amend the Liquor Regulation 1996 to enable restaurants with a seating capacity of 20 or less to obtain a liquor licence if they have one unisex toilet. The Regulation also provides that a disabled toilet is to be counted as a male toilet (and urinal) or a female toilet, or both (if it is a unisex toilet), when determining whether or not a restaurant has or will have the required number of toilets.

This Regulation is made under the Liquor Act 1982, including sections 53 and

156 (the general regulation-making power).
