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 DI2009-31 dated 17 March 2009 and notified under the Legislation Register on 19 March 2009.  

The instrument determines ACTTAB Limited sub-agencies as sports bookmaking venues by approving areas within a one-metre radius of any selling terminal owned and operated by ACTTAB Limited and located within the venues specified in the Schedule to this instrument.  A selling terminal is defined as a SELPOS or AMTOTE AT 1000 selling terminal.  

Specifically the instrument provides approval for a new ACTTAB Limited            sub-agency at the Canberra Deakin Football Club, Grose Street, Deakin, ACT, 2600, by amending the Schedule to the instrument to incorporate the new venue.

In all other respects the instrument has not been altered.
