Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2006 (No 6) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2006—214

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 DI2006-206 dated 31 August 2006 and notified under the Legislation Register on 4 September 2006.  The instrument approves ACTTAB Ltd sub-agencies as approved sports bookmaking venues.

The new determination approves the areas within a one metre radius 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. 

This instrument amends the details of the specified sub-agencies in DI2006-206 by adding two new sub-agencies to the Schedule and correcting a drafting error in the previous instrument.

The following new premises are to be approved sports bookmaking venues:

Sub-Agency	How Amended	Reason for Amendment	
ACT Rugby Union Club Inc	Addition	New sports bookmaking venue	
Kambah Inn	Addition	New sports bookmaking venue	

This instrument also reinstates sports bookmaking venue known as Wests@Turner Club that was inadvertently revoked under DI2006-206.

In all other respects the Instrument has not been altered.
