davlap Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I read that because it is Saturday, then Sat is being treated as a bank holiday. Next year, the Sunday ANZAC bank holiday will move to Monday. So I guess a lot of shops will be closed, but it does not seem to be across the board. We still do not know for sure if our son's school is closed on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I think you will find that most supermarkets etc are open from 1.00PM,certainly that is the case here in Victoria, Actually I am wrong,here are the details for all states. PUBLIC HOLIDAY TRADING RESTRICTIONS EASTER AND ANZAC DAY 2009 Australian Capital Territory There are no trading restrictions in the ACT. New South Wales All shops are required to close on Good Friday (10 April) and Easter Sunday (12 April) unless they are “small shops”; “exempt shops”; or are located in a exempted tourist area; or have been granted an exemption under s.10 of the Shop Trading Act 2008; or had an exemption under previous legislation. All shops except “small shops” and “exempt shops” must not open before 1pm on Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April - there is no substitute public holiday) unless they have an exemption under s.10 of the Shop Trading Act 2008. Note: New trading hours legislation, the Shop Trading Act 2008, came into force in July 2008. ‘Small shops’ and ‘exempt shops’ are defined in the Act and a list of exempted tourist areas is available here. Northern Territory There are no trading restrictions in the Northern Territory. Queensland Queensland’s arrangements are particularly complex due to the large number of trading hour zones. Please refer to the attached schedule of trading hours in the various zones prepared by the National Retail Association. Non-exempt shops throughout Queensland are not permitted to trade on Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April - there is no substitute public holiday) or on Labour Day (Monday 4 May). Note: For a definition of non-exempt shop please refer to the Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990. As a general rule most supermarkets, discount department stores, department stores and most national retailers are non-exempt shops. South Australia Non-exempt shops in metropolitan Adelaide cannot trade on Good Friday (10 April), Easter Sunday (12 April) and Easter Monday (13 April) but can open on Easter Saturday (11 April) until 5pm. Non-exempt shops in country areas that are still proclaimed shopping districts (ie. that still regulate trading hours) cannot trade on Easter Saturday (11 April). Page 2 - 2 - Non-exempt shops cannot open on Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April - there is no substitute public holiday). Note: For a definition of ‘exempt shop’ please refer to the Shop Trading Hours Act 1977. As a general rule, however, most supermarkets, discount department stores, department stores and most other national retailers are not exempt shops. Tasmania Trading is prohibited on Good Friday (10 April) and before 12 noon on Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April - there is no substitute public holiday). Victoria Only ‘exempt shops’ can trade on Good Friday (10 April), Easter Sunday (12 April) and before 1pm on Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April – there is no substitute public holiday). Note: For a definition of ‘exempt shops’ please refer to the Shop Trading Reform Act 1996. As a general rule most supermarkets, discount department stores, department stores and most national retailers are non-exempt shops. A number of municipalities outside Melbourne have been granted exemptions and can trade on Easter Sunday – see Business Victoria website for details. Western Australia Over Easter, general retail shops (including those in the Perth and Fremantle tourism precincts) are not permitted to open on Good Friday (10 April) or Easter Monday (13 April). Easter Saturday (11 April) is a normal trading day. On Easter Sunday (12 April) only general retail shops in the Perth and Fremantle tourism precincts can open. On Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April), general retail shops (including those in the Perth and Fremantle tourism precincts) are not permitted to open. WA has also declared Monday 27 April as a substitute public holiday because Anzac Day falls on a Saturday. However, the WA Government has issued permits to allow shopping centres and general retail shops in metropolitan Perth to open on the Monday from 8am to 6pm. Note: The above arrangements do not apply north of the 26 th parallel of south latitude where trading hours are unregulated or to those areas outside metropolitan Perth which may have special arrangements. ‘General retail shops’ are shops that do not fall within the definitions of ‘small retail shops’ and ‘special retail shops’ in the Retail Trading Hours Act 1987. As a general rule national chain supermarkets and most discount department stores, department stores and most national retailers are ‘general retail shops’.
