CASINO CONTROL AMENDEMENT REGULATIONS 2003 (No 1)

Subordinate Law SL2003 - 3

PURPOSE

The Casino Control Amendment Regulations 2003 are made under section 4 of the Casino Control Act 1988.  The purpose of this amendment is to revoke all existing instruments that designate areas to be the casino and implement new designated areas to be the casino.  The previous designation is varied on Level 0 by excluding (nondesignating) the area which the ACTTAB facility is to occupy and including within the new designation that area where the ACTTAB facility was previously located.

NOTES ON REGULATIONS

Clause 1 explains that the regulations are the Casino Control Amendment Regulations 2003 (No 1).

Clause 2 explains that the regulations commence the day after they are notified.

Clause 3 explains that the regulations amend the Casino Control Regulations 1992.

Clause 4 inserts regulations 5 and 6 into the Casino Control Regulations 1992.  Regulation 5 designates the areas to be the casino.  These are outlined in bold on the plan in schedule 1, part 1.1, part 1.2 and part 1.3.  The ACTTAB area is a nondesignated area as described in schedule 1, part 1.3, an expanded view of which appears in schedule 1, part 1.4.

Regulation 6 revokes the instruments that previously designated areas to be the casino, namely –

•	Special Gazette No S150 dated 5 July 1994; and
•	Special Gazette No S44 dated 16 February 1997.

This explains that regulation 6 expires the same day it commences.

Clause 5 inserts schedule 1, which contains the plans for the areas designated as the casino (part 1.1, part 1.2 and part 1.3) and the area not designated as the casino (part 1.4), into the Casino Control Regulations 1992.
