Western Australian Consolidated Regulations Western Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) If an application
is made under regulation 4 for a casino key employee licence or a casino
employee licence, the Chief Casino Officer may cause to be issued in respect
to the applicant a provisional casino key employee licence or a provisional
casino employee licence if —
(a) the
Chief Casino Officer anticipates that there may be a delay in the making of a
recommendation under regulation 7(1)(c) or a decision under
regulation 8 in relation to the licence applied for;
(b) the
issue of the provisional licence will, in the opinion of the Chief Casino
Officer, not prejudice the integrity of the operation of the Casino;
(ba)
unless a report has been received under regulation 5(3), the applicant
has provided to the Chief Casino Officer a certificate from the Commissioner
of Police, given not more than one month before the application was lodged,
setting out details of any offences committed by the applicant against the law
of any State or a Territory or of the Commonwealth; and
(c)
subject to subregulation (1a) the applicant is not known to have been
convicted of any offence punishable by imprisonment.

the Commission, issue a provisional licence where an applicant is known to
have committed an offence punishable by imprisonment.
(2) The Chief Casino
Officer may issue a provisional licence subject to such terms, conditions or
restrictions as are, in the opinion of the Chief Casino Officer, appropriate,
including restrictions as to the type of work to be carried out pursuant to
the licence, and any terms, conditions or restrictions so imposed shall be
made known in writing to the holder of the licence.
(3) A provisional
casino key employee licence shall be in the form of Form 6 and a provisional
casino employee licence shall be in the form of Form 7.

casino key employee licence or a casino employee licence, as the case may be,
is granted to the holder of the provisional licence;
(c) the
Commission refuses to grant to the holder the licence for which application
was made, pursuant to which application the provisional licence was issued;
(d) it
is surrendered by the holder; or
(e) it
is cancelled by the Chief Casino Officer,
whichever is the
sooner.
(5) The Chief Casino
Officer in his absolute discretion may cancel a provisional casino key
employee licence or a provisional casino employee licence, and shall cause the
holder and the Operator to be notified accordingly as soon as is practicable
thereafter.
(6) During its
currency and subject to any term, condition or restriction imposed by the
Chief Casino Officer in respect of it, a provisional casino key employee
licence or a provisional casino employee licence shall have effect as if it
were a casino key employee licence or a casino employee licence issued under
these regulations.
