LIQUOR ACT 1982 - SECT 37

37 Making of application

(1) An application under this Act shall be made and advertised as prescribed, shall be accompanied by the prescribed documents and shall be lodged as prescribed.

(1A) An application for a dine-or-drink authority in respect of premises already licensed as a restaurant need not be advertised in a newspaper or in any other manner, except in so far as the regulations otherwise provide.

(2) Where the venue for the hearing of the matter of an application to the court would not ordinarily be the prescribed place at which the application was lodged, the registrar for the prescribed place at which the application was lodged shall:

(a) inform the applicant of the prescribed place that will be the venue for the hearing of the matter of the application, and

(b) transmit to the registrar for that prescribed place the application and the papers relating thereto that are in his or her possession or under his or her control.

(3) A failure to comply with subsection (2) does not operate to prevent the court from hearing and determining at such prescribed place as it thinks fit the matter of an application to which that subsection applies.

(4) An application shall be accompanied by the amount of the prescribed fee for the application and, if the application is granted, the fee prescribed by section 56 is reduced by that amount.

(5) Where, before an application for a licence or transfer of a licence is disposed of, a change occurs in the information provided in, or in connection with, the application (including information provided under this subsection) or in the documents lodged with the application, the applicant shall forthwith give the Principal Registrar a notice in writing specifying particulars for the change.

Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.

(6) For the purposes of subsection (5), an application is disposed of when the application is granted or refused. In the case of an application for transfer of a licence that is granted provisionally, the application is not disposed of until the provisional grant is confirmed by the court or it ceases to have effect.
