Sale and supply of alcohol generally - Management of licensed premises

215: Circumstances where section 214 does not apply

You could also call this:

"When you don't need a manager on duty when selling or supplying alcohol"

You do not always need a manager on duty when alcohol is being sold or supplied to the public on licensed premises. This rule does not apply to premises with a club licence, or premises with certain types of licences, such as those endorsed under section 37 or section 40.

You also do not need a manager on duty at premises where wine is made or where produce is harvested to make wine, if no alcohol is being sold or supplied to the public for consumption on the premises.

A manager is only required to be on duty if it is a condition of the licence, and only for the days and times specified. If a manager is required to be on duty, certain rules, such as those in section 214(2) to (4), apply to them when they are on duty.
