A place of public entertainment is defined as an area used for public entertainment which is greater than 500 square metres.
Public entertainment does not include private or invite only events.
The Building Act 1993 requires that a person must not organise, carry out or cause public entertainment to be carried out in a place of public entertainment unless an occupancy permit for a Place of Public Entertainment (POPE) has been obtained.
Similarly, an owner or occupier of a place of public entertainment must not allow the place to be used for public entertainment for a fee, or reward, unless an occupancy permit for a POPE has been obtained.
