Gaming Machines Act 2001

If a complaint in relation to a licensee or close associate is made under this Part, the Authority must, before taking any disciplinary action against the licensee or close associate, notify the licensee or close associate in writing of the grounds on which the Authority is proposing to take disciplinary action.

Any such notice is to invite the licensee or close associate to show cause, by way of a written submission, as to why the Authority should not take disciplinary action against the licensee or close associate.

The Authority must also, before taking disciplinary action against a gaming-related licensee, invite written submissions from the following persons—

each person named in the written statement referred to in section 91 that accompanied the application for the licence,

each person named in the information provided to the Authority (as required by section 118) who has become interested in the business, or the conduct of the business, carried out on the licence.

The Authority may specify—

the time within which a submission under this section may be made, and

any other requirements that must be complied with in relation to the making of any such submission.

If any written submission is made in accordance with this section, the Authority must take the submission into consideration in deciding whether or not to take disciplinary action against the licensee or close associate concerned.
