Terms of Reference
To the Law Reform Committee-for inquiry, consideration and report by the first day of the Autumn 2001 Parliamentary sittings on the relevance of the Theatres Act 1958 to Victoria’s society and in particular:

- the appropriateness of requiring that ‘licensed’ entertainers obtain special permission if they wish to perform on particular public holidays, namely Good Friday, Anzac Day and Christmas Day;
- the appropriateness of retaining a permit scheme for cinemas (which are not licensed) if they wish to operate on Christmas Day or Good Friday; and
- the impact of repealing the Theatres Act 1958.
