Shop Trading Hours (Anzac Day) Amendment Order 2018

This is a Tasmanian government regulation that amends the rules about when shops are allowed to open on Anzac Day (25 April).

Who does this affect?

Shop owners and retailers in Tasmania who want to trade on Anzac Day
Employees who work in retail on Anzac Day
Shoppers in Tasmania who may want to visit stores on that day

What does it do?

It makes a change (an "amendment" — meaning an update or modification) to the existing Anzac Day shop trading hours rules in Tasmania. Anzac Day has traditionally had restricted trading hours out of respect for the national day of remembrance, so regulations like this control when shops can open — typically not before a certain time in the morning.

Why does it matter?

If you run a shop in Tasmania, this order affects what time you can legally open on Anzac Day. Opening outside the permitted hours could expose you to penalties. If you're a shopper, it explains why shops may be closed or have limited hours on that day.

Note: The order took effect from 18 April 2018 — just before Anzac Day that year.
