Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2015 (No 3) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2015-237

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, the legislation empowers the Commission to determine a place to be a sports bookmaking venue.

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 DI2014-263 notified under the Legislation Register on 13 October 2014. 

The new determination approves the Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd Account Betting Call Centre, located at 29 William Street, Granville, NSW, 2142 as a sports bookmaking venue for the purposes of the Act.

The determination has been amended as a consequence of the Commission agreeing to the relocation of Tabcorp ACT’s call centre from the current Gungahlin location to the identified venue at Granville, NSW.

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

In all other respects the instrument has not been altered.
