Casino Control Act 1982

The casino entity is liable for all of the following costs and expenses—

the reasonable costs and expenses relating to the appointment of the special manager;

the reasonable costs and expenses relating to the performance of the special manager’s functions;

the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the chief executive in—

administering the appointment of the special manager; or

assisting the special manager in the performance of the manager’s functions; or

engaging consultants in relation to the special manager; or

advising the Minister on the entity’s plan for the remediation of the management and operations of the entity;

other reasonable costs and expenses prescribed by regulation.

Without limiting subsection (1)(b), the reasonable costs and expenses relating to the performance of the special manager’s functions include—

the remuneration and allowances of the manager; and

the salary or remuneration costs associated with the staff of the manager; and

the manager’s accommodation and other operating expenses.

The casino entity may be required to pay to the State costs and expenses in advance of those costs and expenses being incurred by the special manager and chief executive.

If the casino entity is required to pay costs and expenses in advance, the chief executive must give the entity—

a written itemised account of the expected costs and expenses; and

a written notice requiring the entity to pay to the State the expected costs and expenses within 28 days after the requirement is made.

Subsection (6) applies if, after giving the casino entity a written notice under subsection (4), the chief executive reasonably believes there is a shortfall between—

the amount of the expected costs and expenses itemised in the notice; and

the actual costs and expenses for which the entity is liable under this section.

The chief executive may require the casino entity to pay to the State the amount of the shortfall by giving the entity—

a written explanation of the shortfall; and

a written notice requiring the entity to pay to the State the amount of the shortfall within 28 days after the requirement is made.

If a requirement is made of the casino entity under subsection (4) or (6), the casino entity must comply with the requirement.

The amount of the costs and expenses the casino entity is liable for under this section is a debt payable by the entity to the State.

In a proceeding to recover an amount of the costs and expenses the casino entity is liable for under this section, a written itemised account of the costs and expenses given to the entity is evidence of the costs.

The chief executive may refund any amount the chief executive considers to have been overpaid by the casino entity under this section.
