Explanatory note

Section 182A of the Liquor Act 1982 provides that the provisions of the

Registered Clubs Act 1976 relating to poker machines apply to and in respect

of hotels in the same way as they apply to registered clubs. The application of those provisions is effected by specifying in the Liquor Regulation 1996,
with appropriate modifications, the provisions of the Registered Clubs Act

1976 that are to apply (ie the applied provisions).

The Registered Clubs and Liquor Legislation Amendment Act 1997 contains amendments to the Registered Clubs Act 1976 relating to the protection of the sensitive areas of poker machines and the temporary removal of compliance plates by licensed technicians. The object of this Regulation is to pick up those changes for the purposes of the applied provisions.

This Regulation is made under the Liquor Act 1982, including section 182A and section 156 (the general regulation making power).
