Disallowable Instrument DI2014—260

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001 (the Act) regulates the activities of sports bookmakers in the Australian Capital Territory.

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 DI2013-13 dated 19 February 2013 and notified 
under the Legislation Register on 25 February 2013.  The Instrument approves specific areas within the Canberra Racing Club, Thoroughbred Park, Randwick Road Lyneham in the Australian Capital Territory, as identified in the Schedule 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.

A selling terminal is defined as any Commission approved selling device owned and operated by Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd, the purpose of which is to provide retail sales of Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd products.

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 agencies and sub-agencies, its Account Betting Call Centre, identified venues at both Canberra Stadium and Manuka Oval together with oncourse venues located at the two other ACT Racing Clubs.

In all other respects the Instrument has not been altered.
