(1) A club licence may be a full club licence or a restricted club licence.

(2) A full club licence authorises the licensee to supply liquor on the
licensed premises-

   (a)  during ordinary trading hours; and

   (b)  at any other times determined by the Director and specified in the
        licence-

to a member of the club for consumption on or off the licensed premises and to
an authorised gaming visitor or a guest of a member for consumption on the
licensed premises.

(3) A restricted club licence authorises the licensee to supply liquor at the
times determined by the Director and specified in the licence to a member of
the club, an authorised gaming visitor or a guest of a member for consumption
on the licensed premises.

(4) A club licence is subject to-

   (a)  a condition that the rules of the club comply with Schedule 1 (except
        to the extent determined by the Director under section 25(1)(a)); and

   (b)  a condition that the secretary of the club keep on the licensed
        premises, in a form and manner approved by the Director-

   (i)  a members register containing the name and address of each member of
        the club and particulars of payment of the last subscription for
        membership paid by the member; and

   (ii) in the case of a club in respect of which a venue operator's licence
        is in force, a register of authorised gaming visitors containing the
        name and residential address of each authorised gaming visitor
        admitted to the licensed premises and the date of that admission; and

   (c)  a condition that the registers be kept open for inspection at any time
        by a licensing inspector, an authorised member of the police force, a
        compliance inspector, the Director or a person employed under Part 3
        of the Public Administration Act 2004 in the administration of this
        Act who is authorised in writing by the Director; and

   (d)  a condition that the secretary of the club ensure that there are kept
        proper accounts and records of the transactions and affairs of the
        club and such other records as will sufficiently explain the financial
        operations and financial position of the club; and

   (e)  the condition set out in section 16 (compliance with planning scheme);
        and

   (f)  if the licence authorises the licensee to supply liquor outside
        ordinary trading hours, the condition set out in section 17(1); and

   (g)  any other conditions determined by the Director and specified in the
        licence.

(5) Despite subsection (1), the Director may impose a condition on a club
licence prohibiting the supply of liquor on the licensed premises during any
time that a law other than this Act forbids the club from trading at the
premises.

(6) Despite subsection (1), a club licence in respect of licensed premises
within an electoral district referred to in clause 17(1) of Schedule 3 does
not authorise the licensee to supply liquor to an authorised gaming visitor.
