Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

Consequential amendments and repeals

Schedule 1AA: Transitional, savings, and related provisions

You could also call this:

"Rules to help with changes to the alcohol laws"

When the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 was first made, it did not have many special rules to help with the change. But you can find some special rules in sections 406 to 415. These rules were in place on 18 December 2012. The Act has been changed since then.

The Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Act 2023 made some changes. You need to know what the old rules and new rules are. The new rules are the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Regulations 2013, as they are now.

If you were making a local alcohol policy before the new rules started, the new rules will apply to you. This means you will follow the new rules as if you were making the policy under section 78. If someone appealed against your policy under section 81, the old rules will still apply. You can find more information about this in section 79 and section 80.

If you applied for a licence before the new rules started, but it was not decided before they started, the new rules will apply to you. In some cases, the old rules will still apply. You can find more information about this in the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Act 2023.
