Casino Control Act 1982

This section applies to a control system submission or control system (change) submission made to the chief executive by a casino operator.

The chief executive must consider the submission and either approve, or refuse to approve, the casino operator’s proposed control system or the proposed change of the casino operator’s approved control system.

In considering the submission, the chief executive may, by written notice given to the casino operator, require the operator to give the chief executive, within a reasonable period stated in the notice, further information that is necessary and reasonable to help the chief executive make a decision about the submission.

In considering whether to give an approval, the chief executive must have regard to—

whether the submission satisfies the requirements under this part for the submission; and

whether the casino operator’s proposed control system, or approved control system as proposed to be changed, is capable of providing satisfactory and effective control over the operations of the casino.

The chief executive may refuse to give an approval if the casino operator fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (3) without a reasonable excuse.

If the chief executive approves the proposed control system, or proposed change of the approved control system, the chief executive must as soon as practicable give the casino operator written notice of the decision.

If the chief executive refuses to approve the proposed control system, or proposed change of the approved control system, the chief executive must as soon as practicable give the casino operator a written notice that—

states the decision and the reasons for the decision; and

if the chief executive believes the submission can easily be changed to enable the chief executive to give an approval—

explains how the submission can be changed; and

invites the casino operator to resubmit the submission after making the appropriate changes.
