Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venue) Determination 2007 (No 3) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2007—115

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

Part 3 of the Act provides for the conduct and control of sports bookmaking.  In particular, the legislation empowers the Commission to determine a place to be a sports bookmaking venue.

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 DI2001-273 notified under the Legislation Register on 7 September 2001.  That instrument approved the ACTTAB Ltd Telebet Call Centre located at 26 Antill Street Dickson, as a sports bookmaking venue.  

As ACTTAB Ltd has recently relocated its Head Office operations to new premises in the Gungahlin Marketplace, a new determination approving the Account Betting Call Centre as a sports bookmaking venue is required for ACTTAB to perform necessary operational functions at that location.

Accordingly, the new determination approves the ACTTAB Ltd Account Betting Call Centre, located at Suite 1, Level 1, Gungahlin Marketplace, Hibberson Street, Gungahlin ACT 2912, as a sports bookmaking venue for the purposes of the Act.

This instrument reflects the change in location and the change in name from ACTTAB Telebet Call Centre to ACTTAB Account Betting Call Centre.
