Queensland Consolidated Acts

LIQUOR ACT 1992 - SECT 209

(1) Subsection (2) applies if the chief executive is satisfied a licensee is unable to pay in full, on the day prescribed under a regulation, the fee payable in relation to a licence because—

(a) the business conducted under authority of the licence has been adversely affected by a natural disaster; or

(b) the licensee has suffered a personal hardship.

(2) Despite section 208(2), the chief executive may accept payment of the fee under a schedule of instalments decided by the chief executive.

(3) If the licensee pays the fee in accordance with the schedule of instalments—

(a) the licensee is taken to have paid the fee by the day prescribed for section 208(2); and

(b) the consequences of failing to pay the fee, provided for under a regulation, do not apply to the licensee.

(4) Financial hardship is not a personal hardship for subsection (1).
