(a1) in the Parliamentary precincts (within the meaning of the Parliamentary Precincts Act 1997 ),

(2) Before making a recommendation for the purposes of subsection (1), the Minister may, if the Minister thinks fit, obtain a report from the Board on any proposal that the court be authorised under subsection (1) to issue a licence.

(2A) The Minister is not to make a recommendation under subsection (1) unless the Minister is satisfied, on information supplied by the Board or otherwise, that practices will be in place at the licensed premises as soon as the licence is issued that ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that:

(a) liquor is sold, supplied and served responsibly on the premises, and

(b) all reasonable steps are taken to prevent intoxication on the premises,

and that those practices will remain in place while the licence is in force.

(3) The Governor may, on the recommendation of the Minister:

(a) vary, add to or revoke any condition imposed, or exemption granted, in respect of a Governor’s licence whether under subsection (1) or under any other provision of this Act, or

(b) in the absence of any such condition or exemption, impose a condition or grant an exemption and, having imposed or granted it, vary, add to or revoke it.

(4) A condition cannot be imposed on a Governor’s licence under any other section of this Act, and any condition to which a Governor’s licence is subject cannot be varied, added to or revoked under any other section of this Act, unless the Governor has, on the recommendation of the Minister, approved of the proposed condition, variation, addition or revocation.

(5) A licence issued under this section ceases to be in force:

(a) in the case of a licence authorising the sale of liquor at a specified railway station-if the railway station ceases to be regularly serviced by a passenger train (or a motor omnibus or other motor vehicle) operated by or on behalf of Rail Corporation New South Wales, or

(b) in the case of a licence authorising the sale of liquor on premises referred to in subsection (1) (b)-if the premises cease to be vested in the Crown or a public authority constituted by an Act, or

(c) in the case of a licence authorising the sale of liquor at a construction camp or works referred to in subsection (1) (c)-if the construction camp or works have ceased to exist, or

(d) in any case-on the expiry of a period of time, if the licence so provides.
