Australian Capital Territory
Casino Control (Fees) Determination 2018
Disallowable Instrument DI2018–196
made under the  
Casino Control Act 2006, section 143 (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Casino Control Act 2006 (the Act) regulates the operation of the casino in the Territory. 

This instrument revokes the determination of fees made by Disallowable Instrument DI2017-88 notified on the Legislation Register on 5 June 2017.

Section 143 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for fees in relation to administrative tasks performed under the Act, including matters relating to the casino licence and applications for casino employee’s licences and variations to these licences.

Fees in the 2018-19 financial year have been increased from fees in the previous financial year by indexation of 4%. Calculations are rounded down to the nearest dollar, with the exception of fees that have remained static for over three years, in which case calculations are rounded up 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.

The list of items for which fees are set in this instrument is identical to the list of items in Disallowable Instrument DI2017-88.

The Determination of fees is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
