GAMBLING REGULATION ACT 2003 - SECT 3.4A.13B

Grace period for early expiry of temporary amendment

    (1)     This section applies if—

        (a)     a temporary amendment to the geographic area condition on a gaming machine entitlement expires; and

        (b)     that expiry is caused by the occurrence of a specified event (the event ) referred to in section 3.4A.13A(3)(b) or (c)(ii).

    (2)     As soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event, the Commission must give written notice of the event to the venue operator who is conducting gaming under the gaming machine entitlement.

    (3)     Despite section 3.4A.13(5B), the expiry of the temporary amendment is taken not to apply in relation to the gaming machine entitlement until 24 hours after the operator has received the notice under subsection (2).

    (4)     Without limiting subsection (3), during the 24 hour period referred to in that subsection, the expiry of the temporary amendment does not prevent the venue operator from conducting gaming under the gaming machine entitlement in accordance with the geographic area condition as in force before that expiry.

    (5)     During the 24 hour period referred to in subsection (3), it does not matter that the operation of that subsection causes a contravention of a regional limit or a municipal limit.
