Australian Capital Territory
Race and Sports Bookmaking (Sports Bookmaking Venues) Determination 2006 (No 8) 
Disallowable Instrument DI2006—246

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001 (the Act) regulates the activities of sports bookmakers in the Australian Capital Territory.

Section 21(1) of the Act provides that the Commission may determine a place to be a sports bookmaking venue for the purpose of the Act.

This instrument revokes DI2005-257 dated 15 November 2005 and notified under the Legislation Register on 28 November 2005.  The instrument approves specific areas within the Canberra Racing Club, Thoroughbred Park, Randwick Road Lyneham in the Australian Capital Territory, as approved sports bookmaking venues.

The new determination provides a revised detailed description of the Canberra Racing Club to ensure that there is no confusion to which racing club the instrument applies.  The determination also amends clause 2 of the Schedule to reflect that the area known previously as the Bicentennial Room has been renamed ‘The Thoroughbred Club’.

In all other respects the Instrument has not been altered.
