Part 2—Recommendations by Authority   10  When Authority must recommend applicant be approved Applications involving the cancellation of an existing approval  (1) For an application that involves the cancellation of an approval (the existing approval) that is in force in relation to approved premises (the existing premises), the Authority must recommend that an applicant be approved under section 90 of the Act in relation to particular premises if:  (a) the application is of a kind mentioned in column 1 of an item in Part 1 of Schedule 1; and  (b) the following requirements are met in relation to the application:  (i) the requirements in column 2 of that item;  (ii) the requirements in subsection (3);  (iii) the requirements in Part 1 of Schedule 2;  (iv) if a minimum gross leasable area of a group of shops and associated facilities, or of a supermarket, is relevant—the requirements in subsection (4);  (v) if the application is of a kind mentioned in column 1 of an item of Part 2 of Schedule 2—the requirement in column 2 of that item. Note: For example, for the purposes of subparagraph (1)(b)(iv), minimum gross leasable area is relevant to an application for proposed premises in a large shopping centre. This is because the definition of large shopping centre requires the group of shops and associated facilities to have a gross leasable area of at least 5,000 m2 and contain a supermarket that has a gross leasable area of at least 2,500 m2. Applications not involving the cancellation of an existing approval  (2) For an application that does not involve the cancellation of an existing approval, the Authority must recommend that an applicant be approved under section 90 of the Act in relation to particular premises if:  (a) the application is of a kind mentioned in column 1 of an item in Part 2 of Schedule 1; and  (b) the following requirements are met in relation to the application:  (i) the requirements in column 2 of that item;  (ii) the requirements in subsection (3). General requirements  (3) For the purposes of subparagraphs (1)(b)(ii) and (2)(b)(ii), the requirements are that the Authority is satisfied that:  (a) at all relevant times the proposed premises are not approved premises; and  (b) the applicant has, at all relevant times, a legal right to occupy the proposed premises (whether the right is to occupy the premises on the day the application is made or after that day); and  (c) at all relevant times the proposed premises could be used for the operation of a pharmacy under applicable local government and State or Territory laws relating to land development; and  (d) the proposed premises would be accessible by the public; and  (e) within 6 months after the day on which the Authority makes a recommendation in relation to the application, the applicant will be able to begin operating a pharmacy at the proposed premises; and  (f) the proposed premises will not be directly accessible by the public from within a supermarket. Note: The requirement in paragraph (3)(c) would be satisfied if, for example, planning approval for the proposed pharmacy has been obtained or, if this is not necessary in the State or Territory where the pharmacy would be located, the proposed premises are on land that is zoned so as to enable the operation of a pharmacy. An application to obtain a building works approval or a certificate of occupancy, or similar, is not needed to satisfy this requirement. However, it may be needed for compliance with the requirement in paragraph (3)(e), depending on the operation of applicable State or Territory land development laws. Requirements relating to gross leasable area  (4) For the purposes of subparagraph (1)(b)(iv), the requirement is that the Authority is satisfied that the gross leasable area of the group of shops and associated facilities or of the supermarket (as the case requires) is at least the minimum size referred to in that subparagraph. Note: The requirement in this subsection would be satisfied if, for example, the gross leasable area is evidenced by a development approval from a council or an approval authority, a letter from a town planner or a copy of the lease. 11  When Authority must recommend applicant not be approved The Authority must recommend that an applicant not be approved under section 90 of the Act in relation to particular premises if:  (a) a requirement under section 10 of this instrument that applies in relation to the application is not met; or  (b) the application involves the cancellation of an existing approval and that existing approval is subject to a recommendation by the Authority that an applicant be approved under section 90 of the Act.
