made under the  
Unlawful Gambling Act 2009, section 48 (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

This instrument revokes the determination made by Disallowable Instrument DI2017-91 notified on the Legislation Register on 5 June 2017.

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 the Act.

The fee in the 2018-19 financial year has been increased from the fee in the previous financial year by indexation of 4%, rounded down to the nearest dollar. The table in this explanatory statement sets out the current fee (in column 3) and the new fee to take effect from 1 July (in column 4) to enable a comparison.

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