This includes intricate inheritance rules for memberships (treating them as valuable transferable assets), a 10-tier membership classification system, and detailed disciplinary procedures.

General venue management (Parts 1-3)**\n- Allows sporting venues authorities to set conditions for entry and use of their facilities\n- Gives rangers and police power to remove troublemakers, trespassers, or people causing nuisance\n- Allows authorities to ban people from venues for up to 12 months for serious misbehaviour\n- Sets 3-year terms for advisory committee members (with a 6-year maximum)\n\n**2. Specific rules for the SCG and Sydney Football Stadium (Parts 4-9)**\n- Controls who can enter the \"scheduled lands\" (the SCG and stadium grounds)\n- Requires payment of entrance fees or valid membership/tickets\n- Bans bringing your own alcohol, smoking, littering, and offensive behaviour\n- Prohibits animals (except assistance dogs), glass containers, and unauthorised commercial activities\n- Regulates vehicle access and parking\n- Gives officials power to demand ID and eject rule-breakers\n\n**3. SCG Membership scheme (Part 10)**\n- Establishes 10 classes of membership (Regular, Gold, Platinum, Junior, Life, etc.)\n- Sets out detailed entitlements for each membership type (which parts of the ground members can access, how many guest passes they get)\n- Creates complex rules for transferring memberships when members die, including:\n  - Spouses/de facto partners can inherit Regular Membership\n  - Gold/Platinum memberships pass according to wills or to spouses\n  - Special rules for transferring \"Guest cards\" and \"Club cards\"\n- Allows suspension or cancellation of memberships for misbehaviour, with appeal rights\n- Permits financial hardship deferrals of membership fees\n\n**Why it matters:** This Regulation affects anyone attending events at the SCG or Sydney Football Stadium.
