Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2015 (No 2) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2015—57

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 DI2014-264 dated 13 October 2014 and notified under the Legislation Register on 13 October 2014.  That Instrument approved three specific locations within Canberra Stadium as sports bookmaking venues.

This determination has been amended to include another location together with the three currently approved designated sports bookmaking venues operated by Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd and located within the places at the Canberra Stadium (known by whatever name), Battye Street, Bruce, ACT and identified in the Schedule to the Instrument.  

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 Canberra Stadium venues 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, together with identified areas at Manuka Oval and oncourse venues located at the three ACT Racing Clubs.

In all other respects the instrument has not been altered.
