Unlawful Gambling (Charitable Gaming Application Fees) Determination 2017 
Disallowable Instrument DI2017–91
made under the  
Unlawful Gambling Act, section 48 (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Unlawful Gambling Act 2009 (the Act) prohibits gambling activity unless it is authorised through gaming laws.

This instrument revokes the determination of fees made by Disallowable Instrument DI2016-155 notified on the Legislation Register on 30 June 2016.

Section 48 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument sets out the fee to accompany an application by a charitable organisation to conduct charitable gaming under section 11of the Act.

This instrument increases the fee by indexation of 2%, rounded down to the nearest dollar.  A comparative table indicating the previous and revised fee is included as an attachment to this Explanatory Statement.

The fee amount is less than the likely cost of processing the application because the purpose of allowing charitable gaming is to provide an additional means of fundraising for charitable organisations.

A determination under section 48 is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
