Public bars urged to abide by conditions of their license |18 December 2020

The Seychelles Licensing Authority (SLA) is reminding all public bar license holders that they should abide by the conditions of their license.

They should not operate or use the premises for any purpose other than the purpose for which they are licensed.

For example, no nightclub, discotheque and dancing hall activities are permitted in a public bar.

The licensee should keep the noise level down in accordance with the Amplification of Sound and Playing of Music (Control) Regulations of the Penal Code (Cap 158).

Furthermore the licensee should not use any live band and disco music or any type of music which can give rise to noise disturbance. This means that only soft music can be played on the premises.

License holders are being reminded that it’s an offence under the license’s Act to breach their license conditions.

The SLA may impose sanctions such as revocation, suspension or non-renewal of license.

The SLA counts on license holders’ understanding and good cooperation during this challenging time.
