7 Matters to be taken into consideration by council in determining whether to approve the use of a building or temporary structure as a place of public entertainment

(1) In determining an application for approval to use a building or temporary structure as a place of public entertainment the council must take the following matters into consideration:

(a) whether any consent required under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 for the use of the building or structure for the purpose has been given,

(b) whether the use of the building or structure for the purpose contravenes provisions of that Act or of any environmental planning instrument within the meaning of that Act, in so far as the Act or instrument applies to the land.

(2) If the application relates to an existing building or temporary structure, the council must not approve the use of the building or structure as a place of public entertainment unless the council, having regard to the circumstances of the case, is of the opinion that the building or structure, with such alterations as it may require:

(a) will be structurally sound and capable of withstanding the loadings likely to arise from the use, and

(b) will contain reasonable provision for the safety of persons proposed to be accommodated in the building or structure, in the event of fire, particularly in relation to egress, and

(c) will contain reasonable provision for the prevention or suppression of fire and the prevention of the spread of fire.
