Transitional) Amendment

Regulation 2002

under the

Gaming Machines Act 2001

His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Gaming Machines Act 2001.

J. RICHARD FACE, M.P.,

Minister for Gaming and Racing

Explanatory note

Under section 41 of the Gaming Machines Act 2001, a hotel or registered club that is an “early opener” may apply for the Liquor Administration Board’s approval of the hotel or club having a different 3-hour shutdown period to the mandatory 6 am to 9 am shutdown period for gaming machine operations in hotels and clubs.

The object of this Regulation is to provide for a transitional period in which early opening hotels and clubs that close for a consecutive period of at least 3 hours are taken to have the Board’s approval for a shutdown period other than between 6 am and 9 am. The Regulation will enable the early openers to comply with the 3-hour shutdown period until their applications for the Board’s approval are determined. This Regulation is made under the Gaming Machines Act 2001, including clause 1 of Schedule 1.
