Food courts and seating areas in passenger terminals are now part of the licensed premises; this ensures laws against underage drinking and excessive alcohol consumption apply there.

Licensees must display a clear notice telling customers where they can drink; failing to do so is a criminal offence.

The Secretary can cut trading hours or ban liquor sales in food courts if the licensee breaks the law.

The Secretary decides the trading hours and restricted days for premises around Western Sydney Airport.

Trading hours for airport terminal venues must match the airport's operating hours; they cannot be longer.

Airport terminal venues are exempt from the mandatory 6-hour closure period; they no longer have restricted trading days.

Retail liquor areas in terminals no longer need to be separated from other parts of the premises; minors can enter these areas without a responsible adult.
