The Council invites feedback on the draft policy from Monday 31 January 2022 to Friday 4 March 2022.

The draft policy provides controls on the number and location of Class 4 gambling (pokie) machines, and on the location of stand-alone TAB NZ venues in Selwyn district. The Draft Gambling Venue Policy has been prepared under the Gambling Act 2003 and the Racing Industry Act 2020.

The draft policy includes:
• a cap of 124 machines
• a relocation policy so that a Class 4 venue can take the same number of machines to a new venue as it had at the original licensed venue
• gambling venues continue to be allowed only outside residential areas of the district.
Enclosed is a statement of proposal, including the draft policy. These documents are also available for viewing at all Council service centres and libraries, and online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/gambling.
You can make your submission online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/gambling. Alternatively, you can pick up a hard copy of the submission form at Council service centres and libraries.
