Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2010 (No 2) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2010—301

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 DI2010-46 dated 18 May 2010 and notified under the Legislation Register on 20 May 2010.  

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 the inclusion of the sub-agency in the ACT Rugby Union Club, located at 51 Blackall Street in Barton, as a determined sports bookmaking venue. 

A further amendment is the removal of the Yamba Club from the Schedule due to the closure of the Club and cessation of sports bookmaking operations at the determined venue.  

In all other respects the instrument has not been altered.
