Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if the chief executive approves a decrease in the approved number of gaming machines for licensed premises.
(2) The licensee must, within the required time, dispose of the number of gaming machines stated for the decrease.
Editor's note—
This subsection does not deal with the issue of the disposal of gaming machines contrary to an approval. However, in this regard, see sections 265 (Manufacture, sale, supply, obtaining or possession of gaming machines) and 277 (Destruction of gaming machines).
(3) For subsection (2), the required time for disposing of the gaming machines is—
(a) the period ending 1 month after the licensee receives notice of the decision approving the decrease; or
(b) if the chief executive extends, or further extends, the period for taking the action, by written notice given to the licensee in the period or extended period—the period as extended.
(4) Despite subsection (3), if the approval for the decrease is conditional on the sale of an operating authority for each gaming machine to be disposed of under the approval, the required time for disposing of a gaming machine in relation to the decrease is the period ending 1 month after the sale of an operating authority for the gaming machine.
(5) The chief executive may give an extension for subsection (3)(b) only if the chief executive considers it is appropriate to take the action in the circumstances of the particular case.
