ACT Gaming Machine Review

The ACT Government is considering implementing a scheme to provide for the reallocation of gaming machines in order that they can be spread equitably across the Territory so that people in all residential areas, including in future areas such as Molonglo, would have access to a local club and its community services. The Government has also decided to consider options to reduce the number of gaming machines in the ACT.

The ACT Government sought submissions from stakeholders and interested members of the community on options for the reallocation scheme and reduction of the gaming machine cap that were raised in a Discussion Paper (refer to link below).

Submissions received are assisting the Government in forming its preferred options for the reallocation and reduction of gaming machines.  Any regulatory or legislative amendments will have to be approved by the Legislative Assembly.
