Delegated Legislation Committee (2001 - 2017)· 18 May 2010general_report

This WA parliamentary committee report examines amendments to regulations concerning betting, casinos, gaming, racing, and liquor control. The committee expresses concern that fee increases within these sectors may not be authorized by the relevant Acts and could amount to unauthorized taxes. They were unable to properly assess the increases due to a lack of information from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor.

Impact

Businesses and individuals involved in betting, casinos, gaming, racing, and liquor industries in Western Australia will be affected. The report also impacts the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor and its processes for setting fees and charges.
