Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2003 (No 2)
Disallowable instrument DI2003—73

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Race and Sports Bookmaking 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, section 21 of the Act provides that the Commission may determine a place to be a sports bookmaking venue for the purpose of the Act.

This Disallowable Instrument revokes the instrument DI2002-150 and determines Unit 8, 26-28 Winchcombe Court, Mitchell, ACT as a sports bookmaking venue.  

The revoked instrument DI2002-150 provided a determination and direction pursuant to sections 21 and 22 of the Act.  DI2002-150 was ineffective in relation to its section 22 provisions as it was contingent upon Determination No.266 of 2001 which was repealed by DI2002-6 on 24 January 2002.  In order to give effect to the section 22 provisions of the revoked DI2002-150, a separate instrument has been re-made pursuant to that section of the Act.

Financial Implications

There are no direct financial implications associated with the Instrument.
