### sec.154B Transfer of certain premises
This section applies if—
the licensee under a commercial hotel licence (the first licensee ) has authority to sell or supply liquor on a detached bottle shop; and
the first licensee proposes to transfer the detached bottle shop to another licensee of a commercial hotel licence (the second licensee ).
The first and second licensees must make a joint application to the commissioner for approval of the transfer.
The commissioner must refuse the application if—
the detached bottle shop is more than the distance prescribed under a regulation from the main licensed premises of the second licensee; or
there are 3 detached bottle shops under the authority of the commercial hotel licence of the second licensee.
In deciding the joint application, the commissioner must have regard to the matters prescribed under a regulation.
If the commissioner approves the joint application, the commissioner must adjust the licences of the first licensee and second licensee to ensure each licence describes its licensed premises after the transfer of the detached bottle shop.
