Liquor & Gaming Update
Jonathon Root
Applications are now open for Venue Licences. A Venue Licence will be required to operate gaming in hotels and clubs after 30 June 2023. The application process is online at www.gaming.tas.gov.au. Applicants will need to provide detailed information about their venue and business as part of their application. Supporting materials have been developed to help applicants, and are available from the Gaming website. Applicants need to: • Review the supporting materials and start their applications as soon as possible. • Direct any associates to the Gaming website. Associates will need to submit an associate form. Make contact with your accountant, and contact the Tasmanian Hospitality Association if you need further help with your application. Important information • Venue Licence applications can only be made by current Licensed Premises Gaming (LPG) Licence holders. If you don’t currently hold an LPG Licence (eg, you’re a new operator) please contact the Liquor and Gaming Branch.
• Venue Licence applications for gaming machines in the lead-up period can only be assessed for the same number of gaming machine authorities as already authorised on the existing LPG licence. • Annual Licence fees for gaming authorities will be split over four instalments payable on the first of July, October, January and April each year. The annual licence fee for keno is payable annually. More information about fees is available at the Gaming fees page. New proof of identity standard A new proof of identity standard now applies for all liquor and gaming applicants and associates. The new requirements align to national identity verification requirements and reduce red tape for applicants and associates. Further information is available at the Proof of identity webpage on the Liquor and Gaming website.
