Earlier this year, the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (the Authority) updated Guideline 16, which governs the way in which it assesses applications that increase access to post-midnight gaming. The Guideline formerly applied to any application that, if approved, would result in increased availability of gaming machines after 12 midnight at a venue located in a Band 3 SA2, or after 2am at any venue. Now, it applies to any application that, if approved, would result in increased availability of EGMs after 12 midnight at any venue.
