Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2006 (No 3) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2006—52

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001 (the Act) regulates the activities of sports bookmakers in the Australian Capital Territory.

Part 3 of the Act provides for the conduct and control of sports bookmaking.   Section 21(1) of the Act provides that the Commission may determine a place to be a sports bookmaking venue for the purpose of the Act.

This instrument revokes DI2001-265 and DI2001-267 both dated 
3 September 2001 and notified under the Legislation Register on 
7 September 2001.  These instruments approved Manuka Oval and Bruce Stadium (now Canberra Stadium) as sports bookmaking venues.  The approval of Manuka Oval as a sports bookmaking venue is revoked as it is no longer required.  The former Bruce (Canberra) Stadium instrument (DI2001-267) is revoked as the approved areas are to be updated by this instrument.  The new areas involve 3 new locations (compared to the previous 2 areas) that are more convenient for patrons and more readily controlled for security purposes.

The new determination approves the areas within one metre of any selling terminal, owned and operated by ACTTAB Limited and located within the places identified in the Schedule to the instrument.  A selling terminal is defined as a SELPOS or AMTOTE AT 1000 selling terminal.
