Decision of Licensing Commission on Review of refusal to grant a Special Licence for the Palmerston Sports Club Inc to conduct a licensed screening of selected sporting events in Cinema No.1 at the CMAX Cinema Palmerston.

The refusal of a special licence is confirmed.

However, the Club’s liquor licence is itself varied to permit the sale of liquor during a screening of the AFL Grand Final in CMAX No.1 auditorium on the afternoon of 2 September 2000 (“the event”).

Such variation is subject to the following conditions.

  1. The interior of CMAX Cinema No.1 Palmerston will be deemed to be part of the Club’s licensed premises between 1200 hours and 1730 hours on Saturday 2nd September 2000.
  2. Service of liquor will be restricted to members and guests holding pre-sold tickets. No door sales will be permitted during the event.
  3. Tickets are not to be transferable. A registration system for ticket purchases is to be implemented such that at the commencement of the event the Club will have a list of the names and addresses of all persons who shall be attending.
  4. Minors are to be accompanied by a parent or guardian and are to be identifiable by the wearing of a colour coded hospital type bracelet.
  5. Not less than three (3) licensed security personnel will be in attendance at all times that liquor shall be available within the auditorium.
  6. No patron shall be permitted to remove any liquor from the auditorium.
  7. Any promotion of the event shall emphasise its family nature.
  8. Lighting in the auditorium may be dimmed, but at no time be fully extinguished.
  9. The written consent of both the owner and operator of the cinema to these conditions is to be obtained prior to the event.
  10. A written indication is to be obtained from the Palmerston police, prior to the event, that the police have no objection to the screening being licensed by way of these conditions.
  11. Being an extension of the Club’s liquor licence, any breach of these additional conditions shall be a breach of the main licence.
