        (1)         An applicant for the addition to a liquor production and sales licence of premises or proposed premises as a production outlet, retail outlet or wholesale outlet must satisfy the licensing authority—

            (a)         that the premises sought to be added are, or, in the case of premises not yet constructed, will be, of an appropriate standard for carrying on business under the licence; and

            (b)         that the addition of the premises to the licence would be unlikely—

                  (i)         to result in undue offence, annoyance, disturbance or inconvenience to people who reside, work or worship in the vicinity of the premises; or

                  (ii)         to prejudice the safety or welfare of children attending kindergarten, primary school or secondary school in the vicinity of the premises.

        (2)         An application for the addition to a liquor production and sales licence of premises or proposed premises as a production outlet, retail outlet or wholesale outlet cannot be granted unless the licensing authority is satisfied—

            (a)         that any approvals, consents or exemptions that are required under the law relating to planning to permit the use of the premises or proposed premises for the sale of liquor have been obtained; and

            (b)         that any approvals, consents or exemptions that are required by law for carrying out of building work before the removal of the licence takes effect have been obtained; and

            (c)         that any other relevant approvals, consents and exemptions required for carrying on the proposed business from the premises have been obtained.

        (3)         If adding a production outlet, retail outlet or wholesale outlet to a liquor production and sales licence would result in the establishment of a collective outlet or an increase in the number of licensees for whom the outlet constitutes a collective outlet, the licensing authority must not grant the application for the addition if of the opinion that the trade to be authorised at the outlet would, in view of the number of licensees involved or the nature and extent of the trade or for any other reason, be better authorised by a packaged liquor sales licence or a licence of some other category.
