Casino Control Act 1982

The casino entities for the casino licence, or each of the casino licences, to which a review relates are liable for the costs of conducting the review.

The chief executive may give a notice to a casino entity (a payment notice)—

requiring payment of—

the costs, or part of the costs, that have been incurred or are expected to be incurred in the conduct of a review; or

an instalment of costs mentioned in subparagraph (i); and

stating the day, not earlier than 30 days after the notice is given, by which the amount must be paid.

In deciding the proportion of the costs that each of the casino entities should be required to pay, the chief executive may have regard to the extent the costs were incurred in relation to the casino entity or casino licence.

A payment notice may be given before, during or after a review is conducted.

A casino entity must comply with a payment notice.

An amount that a casino entity is required to pay under a payment notice is a debt payable by the casino entity to the State.

If a casino entity pays an amount under this section for costs that are expected to be incurred, and the amount incurred is less than the amount paid, the chief executive must refund the excess amount to the casino entity.
