The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission is inviting submissions to the Sixth Review of the Melbourne Casino operator and licence.

Under the Casino Control Act 1991 the VGCCC is required to undertake a review of the casino operator and licence every five years.

The review will examine whether the casino operator, Crown Melbourne Ltd, is:

  • a suitable person to continue to hold the casino licence
  • complying with the Casino Control Act 1991, the Casino (Management Agreement) Act 1993, the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 and the regulations made under those Acts
  • complying with the transaction documents or other agreements between Crown Melbourne Ltd and the State that impose obligations on Crown Melbourne Ltd in relation to gaming, and
  • is it in the public interest, having regard to the creation and maintenance of public confidence and trust in the credibility, integrity and stability of casino operations, for Crown Melbourne Ltd’s casino licence to continue.

Submissions must be in writing and include the name, address and telephone number of the author.

Those interested will need to submit their views to the VGCCC by 21 September 2017.

Further details on how to make a submission are available at the Sixth Casino Review homepage.
