Under the Gambling Act 2003 and the Racing Act 2003, Council
must have both a Class 4 Gambling Venue Policy and a Board Venue Policy. These
Acts set out factors that Council must take into consideration when developing
the policies.
The Council's Gambling Policy provides guidance for both class 4
gambling venues (venues that have pokie machines) and stand-alone board venues
(TABs) on the Council's approach to pokie machines and TABs in the district.
The Council adopted its Policy on Thursday 14 December 2023.
Any questions regarding the Policy (and in regard to making an
application) should be made to the Environmental Health Team at
environmentalhealth@marlborough.govt.nz
