GAMING MACHINES ACT 2001 - SECT 37A
Special provision for clubs establishing in new development areas
(1) In this section--
"new development area" means an area of land in a Band 1 LSA or Band 2 LSA
that-- (a) is identified by an environmental planning instrument as an urban
release area (or such other description as the Authority considers to be
similar), and
(b) does not, in the opinion of the Authority, have the full
benefit of the services and facilities of the kind provided by clubs.
(2) A
class 1 LIA may be provided with a threshold increase application in relation
to the premises of a club that are situated in a new development area if-- (a)
the number to which the application relates is not more than 150, and
(b) the
Authority is satisfied that the acquisition of a corresponding number of
gaming machine entitlements in respect of those premises would not increase
the density of gaming machines in the local statistical area in which the
premises are situated to the extent that the classification of the area is
affected.
(3) The following provisions apply if any such class 1 LIA is
approved-- (a) only one gaming machine entitlement for every 2 transfer blocks
is required to be forfeited to the Authority under Division 2 of Part 3 in
respect of the first 50 gaming machine entitlements that are transferred to
the premises after the approval of the LIA,
(b) the club has up to 5 years
from the date of the approval in which to acquire gaming machine entitlements
for the number of gaming machines to which the threshold increase relates (the
club's
"special class 1 quota" ),
(c) if, at the end of that 5-year period the club
has not acquired gaming machine entitlements for its special class 1 quota,
the Authority is to decrease the gaming machine threshold for the premises in
accordance with the portion of the special class 1 quota that is not used
during that period.
(4) This section has effect despite any other provision
of this Division.
