Easter trading hours
Trading hours for Easter depend on the category of the retail shop.
Exempt shops
Exempt shops, except for the sub-category of independent retail shops, have unrestricted trading hours and may trade during Easter.
Independent retail shops as a sub-category of exempt shops
Independent retail shops must remain closed on Good Friday except if they are a predominantly food and/or grocery store, which can trade unrestricted.
However, specific trading hour restrictions apply for licensed premises. For more information, read Trading hours for liquor licensees.
Non-exempt shops
Non-exempt shops must not open on Good Friday. Trading may be permitted for non-exempt shops in certain areas of Queensland on the other public holidays during the Easter period.
