Restriction on gaming machine thresholds for venues in retail shopping centres
37B Restriction on gaming machine thresholds for venues in
retail shopping centres
(1) The gaming machine threshold for a hotel or premises of a club cannot be
increased if the hotel or premises are part of a retail shopping centre or
proposed retail shopping centre.
(2) If a hotel licence or club licence is
granted under the Liquor Act 2007 for premises that are part of a
retail shopping centre or proposed retail shopping centre, the
gaming machine threshold for the premises is to be set at zero.
(3) If an
application is granted under the Liquor Act 2007 that results in the removal
of a hotel licence, or the extension of a hotel, to premises that are part of
a retail shopping centre or proposed retail shopping centre, the
gaming machine threshold for the premises is to be set at zero.
(4) If an
application is granted under the Liquor Act 2007 that results in the removal
of a club licence, or the extension of the premises of a club, to premises
that are part of a retail shopping centre or proposed retail shopping centre,
the gaming machine threshold for the premises is to be set at zero.
(5)
However, subsection (4) does not apply if-- (a) the retail shopping centre
comprises or will comprise less than such number of shops as may be prescribed
by the regulations, and
(b) patrons will not be able to gain access to the
club's premises directly from the retail shopping centre, and
(c) in the case
where the club licence is being removed to other premises--the other premises
are situated in the same suburb or town as the previous premises, and
(d) in
the case where the club's premises are being extended--the club's premises
remain predominantly where they were before the extension, and
(e) the
gaming machine threshold for the club's premises is no more than the
gaming machine threshold for the club's premises immediately before the
club licence was removed or the premises were extended, and
(f) such other
requirements as may be prescribed by the regulations have been complied with.
(6) For the purposes of this section, a hotel or the premises of a club are
taken to be part of a retail shopping centre if the hotel or club premises are
located within the retail shopping centre or physically adjoin any part of the
retail shopping centre.
(7) This section has effect despite any other
provision of this Division.
