        (1)         If the licensing authority does not grant or vary a special facility licence because section 46(2) or 46A(1) applies, the licensing authority may, with the agreement of the applicant, treat the application for, or for the variation of, the special facility licence as an application for —

            (a)         the grant or variation of a licence of another class; or

            (b)         the imposition, variation or cancellation of a condition on a licence of another class; or

            (c)         the issue of an extended trading permit in respect of a licence of another class.

        (2)         The licensing authority may of its own motion or on the application of the licensee —

            (a)         cancel a special facility licence; and

            (b)         in respect of the premises to which the special facility licence related —

                  (i)         grant to the person who was the licensee a licence of another class; and

                  (ii)         if considered appropriate by the licensing authority, issue to that person an extended trading permit.

        (3)         If the licensing authority of its own motion proposes to cancel a special facility licence and grant a licence of another class under subsection (2), the licensing authority —

            (a)         is to give the licensee a notice that sets out the proposal and the reasons for it; and

            (b)         is to give the licensee a reasonable opportunity to make submissions or to be heard in relation to the proposal.
