Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2014 (No 9)
Disallowable instrument DI2014-258

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.  In particular, 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 determination DI2013-7 dated 29 January 2013 
and notified under the Legislation Register on 31 January 2013.                  The determination approves the Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd Agencies listed in the Schedule to the Instrument as approved sports bookmaking venues.  

The determination has been amended as a consequence of the sale of former Territory owned corporation ACTTAB Limited to the new totalisator licensee Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd.  Amendments to the instrument are limited to the removal of all references to former licensee ACTTAB Limited and replaced with the new licensee Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd.

The venues identified in the Schedule to this Instrument are additional to the determined venues approved for use by Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd as part of its retail network of sub-agencies, its Account Betting Call Centre, identified venues at both Canberra Stadium and Manuka Oval together with oncourse venues located at the three ACT Racing Clubs.

In all other respects the Instrument has not been altered.
