Regulation 9 Exceptions for newspapers and periodicals
Section 13(1) of the Act does not apply to Games location advertising that consists of selling, distributing or providing a current newspaper or periodical.
The exception in paragraph (1) does not apply to the selling, distribution or provision of a current newspaper or periodical—
in the street if the selling, distribution or provision is done in a manner that causes undue interference or inconvenience to persons using the street;
if the version of the newspaper or periodical sold, distributed or provided has been created for the purpose of sale, distribution or provision only to, or principally to, members of the public who are in, or in the vicinity of, a specified Games location; or
which is accompanied by any item if the whole or principal purpose of including that item is to promote a product, service or business specifically to members of the public who are in, or in the vicinity of, a specified Games location.
For the purposes of this regulation, a person is to be treated as being in, or in the vicinity of, a specified Games location when that person is—
in or on a railway station where any part of that station is on, above or under the ground in the non-shaded area that is bounded by a dotted green line on a relevant map;
on an event road;
in any other place within the non-shaded area that is bounded by a dotted green line on a relevant map;
on any pavement that is outside the non-shaded area that is bounded by a dotted green line on a relevant map but is on any side of any part of a road that is within the non-shaded area that is bounded by a dotted green line on a relevant map; or
on any land or water that is outside the non-shaded area that is bounded by a dotted green line on a relevant map but is within two metres of any side of any part of a road that is within the non-shaded area that is bounded by a dotted green line on a relevant map where there is no pavement, or where any pavement extends less than two metres from the side of the road.
