What happens next
Once we’ve received your application for a family entertainment centre gaming machine permit, we’ll run a public consultation.
You may need to publish a notice, stating your intention to apply for a permit.
If your application is:
- successful, we’ll send you your permit, together with any conditions we set
- unsuccessful, we’ll write to you to let you know
If your permit comes into effect on:
- the date it’s issued, you’ll need to pay your first annual fee within 30 days of that date
- a date after it’s issued, you’ll need to pay your first annual fee by that date, within 30 days or within 12 months, whichever is sooner
