	(iii)	no part of the licensed premises or area adjacent to the licensed premises is used for the purpose of providing prescribed entertainment; or
	(b)	if the conditions of the licence in respect of the event only authorise the sale of liquor by direct sales transactions (regardless of the authorised trading hours under the licence); or
	(c)	if, in the opinion of the Commissioner, the nature of the event is such that the event should be regarded as a class 2 event;
class 3 event—an event authorised under a short term licence is a class 3 event if—

day—the Commissioner may, in relation to an event authorised under a short term licence, specify on the licence each period (of up to 24 hours) that constitutes a day of the event;
event includes an occasion;
5 year short term licence—a short term licence granted for a term of 5 years is a 5 year short term licence;
short term licence includes a 5 year short term licence.
	(2)	For the purposes of these regulations—
	(a)	a licence authorises the sale or supply of liquor past midnight if it authorises the sale or supply of liquor immediately before and immediately after midnight on any 1 or more days (disregarding sale or supply to a resident on licensed premises); and

	(3)	For the purposes of these regulations, the maximum capacity of licensed premises is the number of persons that must not be exceeded at the licensed premises as stated under the licence (disregarding residents in areas of the premises not accessible to other members of the public (such as bedrooms and other accommodation areas)).

	(2)	Despite Schedule 1, no fee is payable for an application for—
	(a)	a variation of trading hours or the imposition, variation or revocation of a licence condition so as to reduce the trading hours or reduce the capacity of the licensed premises contemplated by the licence and effect a reduction in the annual fee for the licence; or
	(b)	the variation or revocation of a licence condition to remove a club event endorsement, a club transport endorsement or a production and sales event endorsement from the licence (on account of the licensee no longer selling or supplying liquor in accordance with the relevant endorsement).
6—Annual fees—certain suspended licences
	(1)	If, on 30 June in a year, a licence is suspended (other than for disciplinary reasons), the annual fee for the licence applying under Schedule 1 is not payable on or before that day in that year, but—

	(b)	if the licence ceases to be suspended during that following financial year, the annual fee for the licence applying under Schedule 1 in respect of that financial year is payable on or before the day that is 28 days after the day on which the licence ceases to be suspended.
	(2)	The annual fee payable under subregulation (1)(b) is to be adjusted on a pro rata basis by applying the proportion that the number of months from the cessation of the suspension until the next 30 June bears to 12 (with part of a month being counted as a whole month).
