Planning permits for gaming venues

You require approval of your premises to determine it's suitable for gaming.

The VGCCC will consider the following when determining whether to approve an application for approval of premises as suitable for gaming:

  • the premises are, or on completion of building works will be suitable for the management and operation of gaming machines, and
  • the net economic and social impact of the approval will not be detrimental to the well being of the community of the municipal district in which the premises is located.

In addition, if the premises contains any area or facility designed specifically for children or that could reasonably be expected to be used by children, the VGCCC will also have regard to the Decision making guidelines - children's play areas (PDF, 438.83 KB).

How to apply

Please download and complete the Approval of premises for gaming application form with the application fee.

Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will be returned to you.

You will be advised in writing of the outcome of the VGCCC's decision concerning your application.

If the application is successful and the applicant subsequently satisfies all conditions of the approval, a Notice of Approved Premises for Gaming will be issued together with an approved plan of the premises and a plan of the approved gaming machine area. The approval is ongoing unless cancelled, revoked or surrendered.
