Australia
Sex shops have operated in Australia since the 1960s, first in the urban areas of Sydney, notably Kings Cross. Sex shops in Australia are regulated by state laws and are subject to local planning controls.
In the state of New South Wales sex shops cannot trade at street level and are required to trade above or below ground.
