Division 8—Extension of trading area
69—Extension of trading area
(1) The licensing authority may, on application by a licensee who holds a licence authorising the sale of liquor for consumption on the licensed premises, extend the authority conferred by the licence so that the licensee is authorised to sell liquor in a place adjacent to the licensed premises for consumption in that place.
(2) The place to which the authorisation relates is, when the sale of liquor is authorised, taken to form part of the licensed premises.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), an authorisation cannot be granted under this section unless—
(a) the licensing authority is satisfied that the object of the application could not be more appropriately achieved by redefinition of the licensed premises; and
(b) the licensee will, when the sale of liquor is authorised, be entitled to sell or supply liquor to customers in the relevant place; and
(c) the relevant place can be adequately defined and supervised; and
(d) the owner of the relevant place (if not owned by the licensee) consents to the application; and
(e) if the relevant place is under the control of a council—the council approves the application.
(4) If the licensing authority considers that a council is unreasonably withholding its consent or approval for the purposes of subsection (3)(d) or (e) in relation to a prescribed application, the licensing authority may grant an authorisation under this section in respect of the prescribed application without the council's consent or approval (as the case requires).
