Approval granted with conditions The commission has the authority to apply conditions before approving an EGM application. These powers are set out in section 12H of the Act. Sections two and three note the following: (2) An approval may be granted subject to any other conditions that the Authority thinks fit and must specify the number of gaming machines permitted and the gaming machine areas approved for the premises. (3) Without limiting the matters to conditions may relate, the conditions of an approval may relate to any matter for which provision is made by this Act but must not be inconsistent with a provision of this Act. While having this authority, the Commission rarely exercises this power despite the applicants themselves indicating willingness to having conditions imposed. Whilst the venue has security cameras in place, the Commission considers that the Applicant should relocate at least one monitor to a position which would allow Hotel staff to view surveillance footage when standing at the bar/cashier area. In addition, the Commission considers the Applicant should take steps to limit the ability of bistro patrons (including children) to view the gaming room. The Commission does not consider it necessary to impose conditions to this effect as it is confident that the Applicant will take the appropriate steps of its own volition. Malvern Vale Club, June 2014 [Increase 30 to 38 EGMs] When the Commission has set conditions, it is not always clear as to why they have chosen particular cases in which to do so. The Applicant indicated that it was willing to accept conditions on the approval of the application, including a condition to comply with an undertaking to distribute the $10,000 cash community contribution as determined by a committee comprising representatives of the Applicant and the Council. The Commission is of the view that the cash contribution of $10,000 per annum to be provided by the Applicant to the community and the conditions on the approval that have been agreed to by the Applicant mitigate the risk of the application creating a disbenefit to the community. Accordingly, the Commission considers that there will be a neutral economic impact on the community should the application be granted Cove Hotel, February 2013 [Increase 45 to 53 EGMs]
