It is an offence to be on the premises while a closure order applies to a tobacco site.
You can apply for an exemption where special consideration is warranted.
Note: if an exemption is granted, a person will still be subject to conditions of what conduct is allowed. This will be written on the exemption and will continue to mean that sale or supply of tobacco, vape or prohibited products from the premises will be banned.
If you want the closure order cancelled, you must ask for a review.
Submit your application for exemption from closure order using what you’ll need.
What you’ll need
- A copy of any relevant closure order
- Relevant supporting documents.
What happens next
You will be contacted and advised of the Minister’s decision. If approved, any written exemption will detail required conditions.
