Gaming Machine Act 1991

This section applies if the commissioner decides to approve additional premises as premises to which the applicant’s gaming machine licence (the existing licence) relates.

The commissioner must—

fix the number of gaming machines that may be installed on the additional premises; and

fix the hours of gaming for the additional premises.

In fixing the number of gaming machines, and the hours of gaming for additional premises, the commissioner—

must have regard to the number of gaming machines, and the hours of gaming, sought in the additional premises application; and

must have regard to any supporting materials for the application; and

must have regard to any relevant community comments on the application; and

may have regard to the matters, in relation to the additional premises, to which the commissioner is authorised to have regard in making a corresponding decision on an application for a gaming machine licence.

The number of gaming machines fixed under subsection (2)—

must not be greater than the number sought in the application; and

must be a number that, when added to the approved number, or total approved number, of gaming machines for the existing premises, does not result in a number of gaming machines that is more than—

the maximum number prescribed by regulation for category 2 licensed premises; and

the maximum number in total prescribed by regulation for all category 2 licensed premises to which a single licence relates.

If the number of gaming machines and the hours of gaming fixed for the additional premises are as sought in the additional premises application, the commissioner must immediately give written notice of the decision to the applicant.

If the number of gaming machines and the hours of gaming fixed for the additional premises are not as sought in the additional premises application, the commissioner must immediately give the applicant an information notice for the decision.
