5 Exempt shops (1)
An exempt shop is—
(a) a shop of a description mentioned in

selling goods
by retail, or
for supplying services, a reasonable
person would expect to be sold or supplied in that shop;
or (b) an independent retail shop; or
(c) a shop operating in a stated area for
an event— (i) that is a unique or infrequent event
of local, State or national significance; and
Examples— •
the
2018 Commonwealth Games • the Weipa
Fishing Classic event (ii) declared
by the industrial commission to
be a special event
for this paragraph. (2) A declaration for subsection
(1)(c)— (a) may be
made by
the industrial commission on
an application by
an organisation, chief
executive, local
government or any other person; and
(b) must state the following—
Page

Not authorised —indicative only
Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990
Part
2 Interpretation [s 6] (i)
details of the event the subject of the
declaration; (ii) the period for
which the declaration applies; (iii)
the
area to which the declaration applies; and (c)
must
be published on the QIRC website. (3)
In
deciding whether to declare an event to be a special event
for
subsection (1)(c), the industrial commission— (a)
must
consider— (i) the cultural,
religious or
sporting significance of
the
event; and (ii) the significance
of the event to the economy and the tourism
industry; and (b) may consider a submission made by a
local government for an area in which the declaration is
likely to have an impact. (4)
A
class of shop may be declared for the purposes of schedule
1AA,
item 23 by reference to— (a) the business
conducted in shops of the class; or (b)
the location of
shops within
any area or
areas of
the State defined in the relevant
regulation; or (c) such other criteria as the Governor in
Council thinks fit. (5) In respect of the sale of goods
wholesale in an exempt shop the provisions
of this Act apply to the shop and a reference in
this
Act to an exempt shop does not include the shop.
6 Independent retail shops
(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), an
independent retail shop is a shop where— (a)
the
business for which the shop is maintained is wholly
owned by a person, or by persons in
partnership, or by a proprietary company
within the
meaning of
the Corporations Act,
section 9, that
is not a
related body
corporate under the Corporations Act,
section 50; and Current as at [Not applicable]
Page

Not authorised —indicative
only Trading (Allowable Hours) Act
1990 Part 2 Interpretation [s 6]
(b) the number of persons engaged at any
one time in the shop (including an
owner of
the business) does
not exceed 30; and (c)
the
number of persons at any one time engaged by the
owner of
the business (including an
owner of
the business) in that and any other shop
or shops (exempt or non-exempt) in the State does not exceed
100; and (d) the business
for which the
shop is
maintained is
not conducted in
a shop, or
part thereof,
used for
the conduct of
business of
a non-exempt shop
at a time
when
the non-exempt shop is required by or under this
Act
to be closed. (2) A shop is not an independent retail
shop if— (a) it is an exempt shop mentioned in
section 5(1)(a) or (c); (b) it is an
office; (c) the business of the shop is, wholly or
partly— (i) the selling of goods wholesale;
(ii) the selling of
motor vehicles or caravans; (d)
it
is a stall in a market. (3) If business is
conducted in 2 or more areas within a building in such
circumstances that it would be reasonable to believe
that the
business in
each such
area is
part of
1 business conducted by any
1 person, or persons in partnership, none of such
areas is
an independent retail
shop unless
all areas together
would constitute an
independent retail
shop as
defined by subsection (1) if such belief
were correct. (4) Each of
the following circumstances is
evidence of
the reasonableness of
a belief such
as is referred
to in subsection
(3)— (a) the absence of walls, or fixed
partitions, from floor to ceiling, defining the limits of one
area used for trade in relation to another area used for
trade; Page 8 Current as at
[Not applicable]
Not authorised —indicative only
Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990
Part
3 Administration [s 7] (b)
the
availability of access from one area used for trade to
another area
used for
trade, without
the need to
pass through common
area; (c) the availability of access from one
area used for trade to another area
used for
trade through
common area,
without the need to pass through a
structurally defined exit or entrance; (d)
the
making of financial arrangements in relation to trade
in any area
at a location
used for
making such
arrangements in relation to—
(i) trade in that area; and
(ii) trade in any
other area; (e) the use of a common accounting system
in respect of 2 or more areas; (f)
the use of
any advertising device,
or means of
advertising, that
does not
indicate that
business conducted in
each of 2 or more areas is conducted by a different
proprietor. (5) For the
purpose of
applying subsection
(3) in a particular case—
(a) it is not necessary that any person
has formed a belief, such as is referred to in that
subsection; (b) subsection (4) is
not to be
construed as
exhaustive of
circumstances evidencing reasonableness of
a belief, such as is
referred to in subsection (3), which could be formed.

is satisfied on the complaint in writing of an industrial inspector

authorised by this Act to enter therein may
issue a warrant directed to the inspector to enter

premises for the purpose of exercising authority conferred
on
an industrial inspector by this Act. (3)
