  • Gambling Policy Review 2016 Social Impact Assessment
    Gambling Policy Review 2016 Social Impact Assessment Introduction Introduction Gambling is a relatively common activity in New Zealand. In 2011/12, 1.8 million New Zealand adults engaged in gambling of some form. Gambling can provide social entertainment, employment opportunities, and the return of funds to communities. However, it can also contribute to financial strain, family problems and social harm. This report assesses the social impact of gambling in the Whakatāne District. The Whakatāne District Council, under the Gambling Act 2003 and the Racing Act 2003, must have a Class 4 Venue and Board Venue Policy. Although there are several types of gambling available in the District including Lotto, scratch tickets, and – increasingly - internet gambling, the Council only has regulatory powers in regards to Class 4 gambling machines (also called pokies), Class 4 Venues, and Board Venues (stand-alone TABs). The information gathered in this report will assist the Council to review the current Gambling Policy (Class 4 Venue and Board Venue). Background There are four classes of gambling along with casino gambling, sport and race betting, private gambling and Lotto that are authorised types of gambling under the Gambling Act 2003. Territorial Authorities only have regulatory powers in regards to Class 4 gambling and Board Venues. Class 4 Gambling Class 4 gambling generally involves a gaming machine. The Council has the ability to regulate the number of machines and the number and location of Class 4 gambling venues that can be established in the District. Other issues relating to each venue are covered by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) licensing system including: supervision of the premises; the character of the operators; distribution of proceeds from the gaming machines; and procedures to minimise harm from gambling, including mandated host responsibilities.

  • Gambling Policy Review 2016 Statement of Proposal
    Gambling Policy Review 2016 Statement of Proposal Introduction What is the Gambling Policy? The Gambling Policy (Class 4 Venue and Board Venue) focuses on non-casino gaming machines (pokies) and Board Venues (stand-alone TABs). It specifies whether or not gaming machine venues may be established in the District and, if so, where they may be located. It also specifies any restrictions on the maximum number of gaming machines that may be operated at that venue. The Gambling Policy also determines whether or not new TABs may be established in the District and, if so, where they may be located. The Gambling Policy must be reviewed every three years, taking into account the social impacts of gambling in the District. Whakatāne District Council has carried out a draft Social Impact Assessment which has helped to inform the Policy revision. The assessment concludes that the Whakatāne District has a medium risk of harm from gambling activities and that the level of risk has not changed significantly since the last review. How can I have my say on the Policy? The Council has not yet made a final decision about the Policy and welcomes your feedback. Included in this document for your review are the draft Gambling Policy, draft Social Impact Assessment, and Policy Options. There is also a factsheet and video available on our website. Two information sessions will be held to provide further information about the Policy. Whakatāne: Tuesday 5 April, 12pm – 1pm. Little Orchard Activity Room, Te Kōputu – Library and Exhibition Centre, Kakahoroa Drive Murupara: Wednesday 6 April, 12pm – 1:30pm.
