### sec.52A Commissioner may direct licensee to change plan
The commissioner may, by written notice given to a licensee, direct the licensee to change the licensee’s approved risk-assessed management plan for the licensed premises.
The commissioner may decide to give the direction for a purpose for which a condition may be imposed on the licence under section 107C (1) .
The notice given to the licensee must state—
particulars of the required change; and
the reasons for the required change; and
that the licensee must, within a stated reasonable time, give the commissioner a copy of the licensee’s plan amended to incorporate the required change.
The licensee must comply with the notice.
Maximum penalty—25 penalty units.
After receiving a copy of the licensee’s amended plan, the commissioner must give to the licensee—
a notice approving the amended plan; or
if the commissioner considers the amended plan does not appropriately incorporate the required change—a further notice under subsection (1) .
The amended plan takes effect on the day that the commissioner gives the licensee a notice approving it and does not depend on the licence being amended to identify the amended plan.
The commissioner may give a direction under this section to each licensee, or each licensee of a particular class, for licensed premises in a safe night precinct, restricted area or other area.
