A registered club or hotel cannot increase its poker machine threshold unless the Liquor Administration Board (LAB) has approved a social impact assessment (SIA) for that registered club or hotel.
There are two types of gaming SIAs - class 1 and class 2.
A class 1 is required when:
- the increase to the venue's SIA is 10 or less over a 10 year period (maximum: hotels - 30, clubs - 450)
- a venue is being removed within 1 kilometre
- the SIA is required for a transfer of entitlements between premises that are within 1 kilometre of each other
- a registered club that has more than one premises, and both premises are in the country, are within 50 kilometres and the application relates to the transfer of entitlements between those premises
A class 2 is required in all other cases.
How to lodge a SIA
Information on how to lodge both a class 1 SIA and class 2 SIA is available on this site.
