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 DI2011-203 dated 19 July 2011 and notified under the Legislation Register on 20 July 2011.

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-agencies in the Ginninderra Labor Club located at the corner of Lhotsky Street and Charnwood Place in Charnwood, and the Woden Tradesmen’s Union Club located at the corner of Launceston and Furzer Streets in Phillip, as determined sports bookmaking venues. 

In all other respects the instrument has not been altered.
