made under the  
University of Canberra Act 1989, s 42 (Approval and publication of statutes)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Explanatory Statement
The Liquor Statute 2007 of the University regulates the consumption and sale of liquor in buildings and on land of the University. It operates in conjunction with the Liquor Act 1975 (ACT).  The Liquor Statute 2007 repeals the Liquor Statute 1992, which was enacted prior to the establishment of the University of Canberra Staff Club. The University of Canberra Union was replaced by UCU Ltd in 2006. The Liquor Statute 2007 reflects these organisational changes in the two key recreational and hospitality service providers to the University. Transitional provisions relating to the establishment of the Staff Club have been deleted from the Statute and the Statute’s jurisdiction extended to include the whole of the areas occupied by the Staff Club and the Union, instead of only specified areas within the Union.
