Effect of surrender or disposal of AADs
53 Effect of surrender or disposal of AADs
Subject to the regulations, if the AAD threshold or gaming machine threshold for a hotel or club premises (the venue) was not, before the commencement of this clause, decreased—
as a result of the surrender under section 22 (as in force before its repeal by the amending Act) of an authorisation under Part 5 of this Act to keep approved amusement devices in the venue, or
following the authorisation under Part 5 of this Act for the disposal of approved amusement devices kept in the venue,
the Authority is, on the first anniversary of that commencement, to decrease the gaming machine threshold for the venue by a number that is equal to so much of the unused portion of the venue’s AAD threshold or gaming machine threshold as was not decreased as the result of the surrender or disposal.
In this clause—
AAD threshold for a venue means the AAD threshold (as defined under section 4 of this Act immediately before the repeal of that definition by the Gaming Machines Amendment Act 2008) for the venue.
unused portion of an AAD threshold or gaming machine threshold means any portion of the threshold concerned for which a gaming machine entitlement or, in the case of a hotel, a permit has not been acquired.
