Auckland artist Reb Fountain is scheduled to sing at the restaurant's Billiards/Music room tomorrow night and Wellington country group the Warratahs will perform on September 29.
The District Licensing Authority this week granted Mr Broad temporary authorities with special conditions, allowing more than 100 people to attend each gig.
The Billiards room is usually restricted to 50.
As conditions of the temporary licences, the door of the performance room must be kept open during the gigs, and a person familiar with the evacuation procedure, must be on duty throughout the evening.
Two portable toilets must also be provided for the use of patrons.
Plato has been operating on its existing licence since October 2015 when the application to renew the on-licence was filed.
Although police and public health authorities raised no concerns about the renewal, the district licensing inspector had expressed concerns about patron safety.
The problem stemmed from a discrepancy between capacity figures in a fire engineer's report in 2007 and the figures to which Plato was operating. Committee hearings in June and August this year, were both adjourned to give Mr Broad an opportunity to rectify the problem by installing an appropriate fire door in the Billiards/Music room and providing extra toilet facilities.
At the hearing last month, Mr Broad had a new draft fire report. He told the committee he had obtained a price from a plumber for installing additional toilets and had also engaged a building firm.
But he was not able to get the work started at that stage because no commercial draftsman had been available to draw up plans for the alterations.
When asked about the situation yesterday, committee chairman Colin Weatherall confirmed approval had been given for granting Mr Broad temporary authorities for the two larger events this month.
But that was with ''high expectations the [other] work will be finished.''
