Disallowable Instrument DI2012—270

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 provides for the revocation of Disallowable Instrument DI2005-258 notified on 28 November 2005 and made under section 21(1) of the Act.  

DI2005-258 provided for an area located at Unit 3, First Floor 11 McKay Lane Turner ACT 2612 to be a designated sports bookmaking venue for the purposes of the Act at which an ACT sports bookmaking licensee conducted sports bookmaking operations.  

The designated venue is no longer required as the licensee has relocated its operations to the approved area known as the Sports Bookmaking Auditorium located on the ground floor of the Acton Stand at the Canberra Racing Club, Thoroughbred Park, Randwick Road Lyneham in the ACT as determined by Disallowable Instrument DI2006-246.
