Queensland Gaming Commission

annual report 2008–09

Functions under gaming legislationFor the 12 months to 30 June 2009, the Commission’s primary role remained the consideration of applications for gaming machine licences and associated matters under the Gaming Machine Act 1991. It also had appellate functions under other gaming acts administered by the former1 Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing.

With the enactment of the Interactive Gambling (Player Protection) Act 1998 and the Wagering Act 1998, the Commission was given the function of hearing appeals against certain decisions under those Acts. That function was increased in 1999 when the Commission was given the power to hear appeals against certain decisions made under the Keno Act 1996, the Lotteries Act 1997 and the Charitable and Non-Profit Gaming Act 1999. The function was again extended in 2002 with the inclusion of certain appeals under the Casino Control Act 1982 and the Gaming Machine Act 1991.

No appeals were heard by the Commission during 2008–09.

1 On 1 July 2008, the new Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing was created in the Queensland Department of Treasury. It brought together the functions of the former Liquor Licensing Division, the Queensland Office of Gaming Regulation and the Office of Racing.

On 1 April 2009, the Office of Liquor Gaming and Racing was transferred to the newly formed Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI). The Office of Racing was separated from the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR).

Commission update 2008–09

LicensingLicensingThe vast majority of the Queensland Gaming Commission’s endeavours during 2008–09 concerned its responsibilities with machine gaming.

The Gaming Machine Act 1991 confers on the Commission the role of granting gaming machine licences and suppliers’ licences associated with machine gaming operations in Queensland. The Chief Executive has the responsibility of granting licences for gaming employees, gaming nominees, key monitoring employees, repairers and service contractors.

OLGR’s Executive Director, as delegate of the Chief Executive, conducted investigations in relation to licence applications and, upon consideration of the applications and the findings of those investigations, made recommendations to the Commission on the granting or refusal of licences.

Under authority delegated to the Executive Director by the Commission, the Executive Director granted gaming machine licence applications where: •therewasaliquorlicencetransfer

the number of gaming machines that were operated by the previous gaming machine licensee.

Throughout the year, the Commission received regular monthly updates on the following significant actions taken by the Executive Director relating to gaming machine matters:•prosecutionproceedings•licenseesrequestedtoshowcauseas

to why their gaming machine licence should not be suspended or cancelled

the work being undertaken to develop a similar but not identical scheme for the reallocation of machines under the club gaming machine cap.

The Commission also continued to keep informed of developments in the gambling industry and noted the review of the Australian gambling industry being undertaken by the Productivity Commission.

Commissioner Greg McCallum attended the 2009 Australasian Casino and Gaming Regulators’ Conference in Perth together with Mr David Ford, Deputy Director-General, Department of Employment Economic Development and Innovation and Michael Sarquis, Executive Director, Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation. Mr McCallum took the opportunity to meet with other commission and authority members from Australasian jurisdictions and submitted a report to the Commission on the conference presentations and discussions.

Commission’s involvement in Commission’s involvement in show cause actionshow cause actionThe Commission becomes involved in a show cause action, in the case of a licensed entity, where the Chief Executive believes that grounds exist for the Commission to suspend or cancel the gaming machine licence. The Commission does not initiate show cause actions but decides on the outcome of the action, taking into consideration the Chief Executive’s recommendation and written submissions lodged by the licensee, including any written representations made by interested parties.

In the period 2008–09, 23 licensees were directed to pay their gaming taxes under a weekly arrangement, due to concerns over their general financial stability. The following five licensees were subject of show cause action during the period:

•licencessuspendedfornon-paymentof taxes

•licenseesonperiodicaltaxpaymentarrangements

•clubssubjecttoexternaladministrationand outstanding debts owed to OLGR

•sitesandmattersofinterest.

The report, provided to the Commission on a monthly basis, informed the Commission of OLGR’s activities and identified trends and issues within the gaming industry.

ReviewingReviewingOne of the key responsibilities of the Commission in its deliberations is to balance the potential benefits of machine gaming against the potential for harm to the community. In this regard the Commission continued to review its processes, and in particular the information that comes before it, to inform its decisions. In this regard the Commission reviewed its guideline Guidelines: community impact statement and incorporated standardised templates for each of the three types of consultation (i.e. residential, business and community organisations). The revised guideline was issued in August 2008.

Additionally, in February 2009, the Commission issued a new guideline Guidelines: making community comment. The purpose of the guideline is to assist individuals, corporations and other organisations interested in an application before the Commission to provide meaningful and relevant comments having regard to the weighting the Commission will give to such comments.

MonitoringMonitoringThe Commission continued to monitor the performance of the authority scheme for reallocation of machines under the hotel gaming machine cap and noted, and been kept informed of,

Show cause actions involving the Royal Carrangarra and Charleville Cattle Camp Hotels were completed during the period, however matters relating to Caboolture and Districts Services Memorial Club Inc and Queensland Lions Football Club Limited were not finalised until July 2009. The show cause in relation to the Coronation Hotel has not yet been finalised.

The Gladstone & District Leagues Club Limited (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (Administrators Appointed) appealed to the Minister against the determination of the Commission to cancel its gaming machine licence on 18 March 2008.

On 18 May 2008, the Minister considered the appeal and, in accordance with section 30A(2)(c) of the Gaming Machine Act 1991, decided to set aside the Commission’s determination and returned the matter to the Commission for further consideration.

On 27 May 2008, the Commission reconsidered the matter and decided not to cancel or suspend the club’s gaming machine licence. However, the Commission resolved to impose further conditions on the club’s licence, including that the conditions of the contract, dated 2 May 2008, between Club Management Pty Limited (freehold owner) and Canberra District Rugby League Football Club Limited (purchaser) be satisfied by 31 August 2008 (including the lifting of the suspension of the club’s liquor licence).

In a letter dated 24 July 2008, the club’s receivers and managers, KordaMentha, advised OLGR that negotiations between the freehold owner and Canberra District Rugby League Football Club Limited had come to an end and that an on-site auction was held on 15 July 2008, which included the sale of the gaming equipment.

In January 2009, OLGR commenced action to cancel the club’s liquor licence on the ground that it had not recommenced operations since the cessation of trade on 27 March 2008. On 24 March 2009, the club’s liquor licence was cancelled.

As a result, the club’s gaming machine licence became cancelled pursuant to section 96(1) of the Act.

Presentations made to thePresentations made to the Commission in 2008–09Commission in 2008–09Two presentations were made to the Commission throughout 2008–09, enabling Commissioners to gain a broader understanding of the subjects presented.

Details of the presentations are: •August2008—JimLoucas,principal

Gaming machine update 2008–09

The Queensland Government has put in place a regulatory regime that promotes responsible gambling and ensures that any adverse consequences of gambling are minimised. In line with this approach, a number of initiatives were announced on 17 April 2008 including:•astate-widecaponelectronicgaming

machine numbers in clubs•amoratoriumonthefurtherrelease

of Government operating authorities for hotel electronic gaming machines

•reducedtradinghoursforgamingmachine play.

It is in this context that the Commission noted a reduction in the number of gaming machine applications received during the year in review. No doubt the economic downturn was also a contributing factor although it is noted that gaming machine revenue actually grew by 3.2 per cent year on year.

Changes to gaming machine legislation throughout the 2008–09 financial year also flowed through to the Commission’s decision-making process.

The Gaming Machine Regulation 2002 was amended and gazetted on 5 December 2008. The amendments provided that gaming should not be conducted on premises before 10 am, as well as changing the ‘major facilities levy’ to the ‘health services levy’, and prescribing the Independent Gambling Authority, South Australia, as an entity to which confidential information can be given.

The Liquor Act 1992 was also amended with changes commencing on 1 January 2009. The amendments provided for the introduction of community club licences, commercial hotel licences and commercial special facility licences. There were also new definitions for category one licensed premises, commercial hotel licence, commercial special facility licence and commercial special facility premises.

The Gaming Machine Act 1992 and Gaming Machine Regulation 2002 were amended to provide for appeals that previously went to the Commission to go to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The amendments commenced on 1 December 2009.

Conclusion

The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) was due to commence on 1 December 2009, taking responsibility from the Commission for all appeals of Chief Executive decisions. Also any appeals from decisions of the Commission will be considered by QCAT.

During the financial year the chair of the Commission once again made himself available to address the Responsible Gambling Advisory Committee (RGAC), a tripartite body representing industry stakeholders which has been established to provide advice to the Minister on responsible gambling related matters.

The Commission acknowledges the excellent work of the staff of OLGR in providing support to the Commission and that this has continued following the machinery of government changes which saw the office transfer to DEEDI.
