Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies to the following applications made in accordance with this Act:
(a) initial licence applications;
(b) licence amendment applications if the application is to increase the number of gaming machines authorised to be operated under the licence.
(2) However, this section does not apply to the application if—
(a) the applicant has been authorised to operate 1 or more gaming machines because of the application; or
(b) the application has been refused.
(3) Applications to which this section applies must be dealt with in the order in which they are received by the commission.
(4) However, if an application does not contain sufficient information to allow the commission to decide the application, subsection (3) applies to the application as if it were received by the commission when sufficient information is given to the commission to allow the commission to decide it.
(5) The commission is not required to make a decision about the number of gaming machines authorised to be operated under a licence if licences that have already been issued authorise the operation of the maximum number of gaming machines allowed on all licensed premises in the ACT.
Note The maximum number of gaming machines on all licensed premises in the ACT is set under s 35.
(6) The commission may, by written notice given to the applicant, require an applicant to provide updated information in an application mentioned in subsection (1), including verified updated information, if—
(a) subsection (5) applied to the application; and
(b) at a later time, subsection (5) stopped applying to the application.
(7) To remove any doubt, updated information includes an updated required document.
