South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts61—Removal of hotel licence or retail liquor merchant's licence
(1) An applicant for
removal of a hotel licence must satisfy the licensing authority by such
evidence as it may require that, having regard to the licensed premises
already existing in the locality to which the licence is to be removed, the
removal of the licence is necessary in order to provide for the needs of the
public in that locality.
(2) An applicant for
the removal of a retail liquor merchant's licence must satisfy the licensing
authority that the licensed premises already existing in the locality to which
the licence is to be removed do not adequately cater for the public demand for
liquor for consumption off licensed premises and the removal of the licence is
necessary to satisfy that demand.
(3) A reference to
licensed premises already existing in a locality extends to premises in that
locality, or premises proposed for that locality, in respect of which a
licence is to be granted, or to which a licence is to be removed, under an
existing certificate of approval.
