Process stages for reviewing your Class 4 Venue Policy
Click through to process stage:
You will need to evaluate the effectiveness of your council’s current policy in order to decide whether to review it. You may:
- Gather information
- Undertake pre-engagement
- Assess the social impact of Class 4 Gambling in your area.
Information is available to support this process from DIA: gambling@dia.govt.nz and MOH (see Contacts webpage)
After considering this information, your council will decide either to:
- Review the policy and proceed to Step 2
- Roll over the C4 policy and proceed to Step 6.
If your council has decided to review your Class 4 Policy, you will need to develop the policy in accordance with your council’s policies and practice and the Local Government and Gambling Acts.
You will then draft your policy in accordance with your council policy development process and as mandated by the Gambling and Local Government Acts.
When performing statutory consultation, refer to Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) and New Zealand Society of Local Government New Zealand (SOLGM) resources and your council’s Significance & Engagement Policy.
Your council will adopt the policy in accordance with its governance requirements and the Local Government Act.
You are required to provide the Department of Internal Affairs with a copy of the policy by emailing gambling@dia.govt.nz
