11 Making it easier for clubs to amalgamate ClubsNSW suggested that the above amendments should go further by making the transfer of entitlements between amalgamated clubs exempt from forfeiture requirements in all cases. 218 However, IPART considers that stakeholder concerns related to the forfeiture scheme have been adequately considered by the review of the Gaming Machines Act. It also considers that full exemption for amalgamated clubs from the forfeiture rule would be contrary to the policy of gambling harm minimisation. Box 11.3 Social Impact Assessment and Local Impact Assessment Currently each club premises has an SIA threshold expressed as a number of gaming machine entitlements. Any transfers of entitlements that would result in this threshold being exceeded require an SIA. The proposal is to move to the LIA thresholds (expressed as a number of entitlements per local government area (LGA)) while keeping Class 1 and 2 assessment categories. There will be ‘bands’ decided (and revised periodically) for each LGA by reference to gaming machine numbers, expenditure on gaming machines and socio-economic indicators published by the ABS. There are a range of conditions for when and what type of LIA is required: no LIA is required if the transfer is within the same LGA no LIA is required for transfers into an LGA deemed as Band 1, with a limit that only 20 or less gaming machine entitlements can be transferred per year for transfers into LGAs deemed as Band 2, an LIA is required and the type of LIA will be determined by the decision-maker for transfers into LGAs deemed as Band 3, a class 2 LIA is required. This approach would provide more flexibility, as the threshold would effectively change with the demographics in the LGA, while still ensuring measures for gambling harm minimisation are in place. The replacement of the SIA with an LIA is expected to simplify the steps in some areas; however, there the Class 1 and Class 2 assessment categories would be retained. Stakeholder concerns mostly relate to the Class 2 assessment, which the proposals in the report on the review of the Gaming Machines Act will not change significantly. But the change in the premises-specific SIA threshold to an LGA gaming machine threshold should make it easier to decide whether a club requires a class 1 or 2 LIA, see Figure 11.1.
