New South Wales Consolidated Acts

LIQUOR ACT 2007 - SECT 72B

72B Preparation of cumulative impact assessment

(1) This section applies if, because of the number of relevant licences or related authorisations in force for an area, the Authority considers that granting any further relevant licences or related authorisations for premises in the area is likely to be inconsistent with the Authority's social impact duty.

Note : See section 59(3) which provides that an application for approval to remove a licence to other premises is to be dealt with and decided by the Authority as if it were an application for the granting of a licence for the other premises.

(2) The Authority may prepare a document (a
"cumulative impact assessment" ) in relation to the cumulative impact of the granting of licences or authorisations for premises in that area.

(3) In this section--

"area" means a local government area, or part of a local government area, prescribed by the regulations.
