The Gambling Act 2003 gives Council the responsibility for determining how Class 4 gambling venues are operated in the Waimate District.
The Gambling Venues Policy sets out the framework, rules and responsibilities for people and businesses operating gaming machines (also known as 'pokies').
Under the policy, Waimate District Council (WDC) has adopted a ‘sinking lid’ policy, thereby, declining consents that would permit any increase in the number of Class 4 venues, TAB venues, or Class 4 gaming machines within the district.
