Totalizator Act 1997

For the purposes of this Act, the controlling bodies are Racing New South Wales, Harness Racing New South Wales and the Greyhound Racing New South Wales.

For the purposes of this Act, the racing clubs for which a controlling body is responsible are—

in the case of Racing New South Wales—racing clubs that promote, conduct or control horse racing, and

in the case of Harness Racing New South Wales—racing clubs that promote, conduct or control harness racing, and

in the case of the Greyhound Racing New South Wales—racing clubs that promote, conduct or control greyhound racing.

If a controlling body ceases to exist, its functions under this Act are conferred on its successor and its successor becomes a controlling body in its place (including for the purposes of the operation of this section).

The successor of a controlling body is the body nominated by the Minister by order published in the Gazette.

The Minister cannot nominate a body as successor of a controlling body except with the approval of both a majority of the racing clubs for which the controlling body is responsible and of the principal racing club or clubs (as the case may be) for which the controlling body is responsible.

If a successor of a controlling body cannot be nominated, there is no successor of that body for the purposes of this section.
