### sec.154A Relocation of detached bottle shops
This section applies if—
under a commercial hotel licence the licensee has authority to sell or supply liquor on a detached bottle shop; and
the licensee proposes to relocate the detached bottle shop.
The licensee must apply to the commissioner for approval for the relocation.
In deciding the application, the commissioner must have regard to whether or not the applicant should be required to advertise the application under section 118 .
The commissioner may approve the application only if the commissioner is satisfied the detached bottle shop is to be relocated to another place within the same shopping precinct.
If the detached bottle shop is to be relocated more than the distance prescribed under a regulation from the main licensed premises, the commissioner must refuse the application.
Subsection (5) does not apply if the detached bottle shop—
operates under an approval granted by the chief executive before 2 December 1994; or
operates under an approval granted by the chief executive or commissioner on or after 2 December 1994 that authorises the detached bottle shop to be located more than the distance prescribed under a regulation from the main licensed premises.
If the commissioner approves the application, the commissioner must adjust the licence to ensure it describes the licensed premises after the relocation of the detached bottle shop.
