The Bill seeks to balance commercial opportunities available to local businesses with those in proximity to those businesses not being unduly disturbed or the music creating a nuisance. Clause 1 provides the short title of the legislation. Clause 2 amends section 2 of the principal Act by providing for, among other things, the definitions of the words \u201cbar\u201d, \u201csea-going vessel\u201d and \u201cstand-alone retail bar\u201d. Clause 3 amends section 3(2) of the principal Act by changing the requirements applicable to certain premises, including hotels and restaurants, being premises subject to the principal Act, in relation to dancing and the playing of music on Christmas Day, Good Friday and Sunday. The requirements being introduced are that \u2014 (a) the music is to be of a low background nature and is not capable of being heard outside of the premises on which it is played; and (b) the music is to be played between 9:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. This clause also introduces proposed subsections (2A) and (2B) in section 3 of the principal Act. The proposed subsection (2A) provides that dancing may be permitted and music may be played at stand-alone retail bars on Sunday if \u2014 (a) the music is of a low background nature and is not capable of being heard outside of the premises on which it is played; and (b) the music is played between 11:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. The proposed subsection (2B) provides that dancing may be permitted and music may be played on certain sea-going vessels on Sunday if \u2014 (a) the vessel is further than half a mile from any land; and (b) the music is played between 11:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. Clause 4 provides for a consequential amendment to the principal Act by repealing section 14 and substituting a new section 14 which removes the reference to regulations prescribing noise levels and noise measurement devices to measure noise in decibels.
