Whilst there is no formal legislative requirement for the Council to adopt a policy in relation to the licensing of sex establishments it is considered beneficial for the Council to do so given that it is the Council’s role as licensing authority to regulate such premises. This is in accordance with the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 which allows Waverley to license sex shops, sex cinemas and sexual entertainment venues. Waverley introduced a Policy in 2012 and within that Policy stated that it will be kept under review, and that it will review the Policy every five years. The current Waverley Policy has been in place since January 2017 and will be reviewed over the next few months. This will lead up to a new Policy being in place by January 2022 for a further maximum five-year period. NOTE: Waverley does not currently have any Sex Establishments.
