Gaming Machines Act 2001

Before the Authority decides—

to terminate the investigation of an application by the holder of a dealer’s licence (the licensee) for declaration of a device as an approved gaming machine, or

to refuse such an application, or

to revoke the declaration of a device as an approved gaming machine that was made on the application of a licensee,

The notice is to—

specify the reasons why the Authority is considering taking the action specified in the notice, and

give the licensee an opportunity to show cause within such period of at least 14 days as is specified in the notice why the Authority should not take that action.

The licensee may, within the period allowed by the notice, arrange with the Authority for the making of submissions to the Authority as to why the proposed action should not be taken and the Authority is to consider any submissions so made.

After considering any submissions made by the licensee, or if no such submissions are made, the Authority may—

proceed with the proposed action, or

conditionally or unconditionally decide not to take the proposed action.

The decision of the Authority takes effect when written notice of the decision is given to the licensee or on a later date specified in the notice.
