Gaming Machines (Prohibition of Cross Holdings, Profit Sharing, etc.) Amendment Act 1994

8—Transitional provisions

(1) Sections 4 and 5 of this Act do not affect a decision made by the Commissioner in relation to an application for a licence or an approval under the principal Act if the decision was made before 19 April 1994.

(2) Section 5 of this Act does not prevent the Commissioner from granting an application for approval to a person to assume a position of authority in a body corporate that is the holder of a gaming machine licence if—

(a) the person was, before 19 April 1994, approved under the Liquor Licensing Act 1985 to hold a position of authority in a body corporate that held a licence under that Act; and

(b) the body corporate held the gaming machine licence at the time that approval was granted; and

(c) the Commissioner is satisfied that the applicant or some other person incurred significant irrecoverable costs or expenses on the assumption that, because approval was granted under the Liquor Licensing Act, the application under the principal Act would be granted.

Gaming Machines (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act 1996

13—Transitional provision

The Commissioner must, in relation to a gaming machine licence that is in force as at the commencement of this section, vary the condition fixing the hours during which gaming operations may be conducted on the licensed premises to such extent (if any) as is necessary to ensure—
