2.5.19D. Publication and use approval



(1) An appropriate controlling body may grant an approval to a wagering
service provider to publish, use or otherwise make available in the course of
business, in Victoria or elsewhere, a race field if the wagering service
provider makes an application for that approval in accordance with section

(2) For the purposes of determining an application for publication and use
approval, an appropriate controlling body-

   (a)  must consider the prescribed matters (if any);

   (b)  may consider any other matters the appropriate controlling body
        considers to be relevant.

(3) An appropriate controlling body must-

   (a)  determine an application by either granting or refusing publication
        and use approval in the prescribed time; and

   (b)  notify the applicant in writing of its decision to grant or refuse
        publication and use approval in the prescribed time.

(4) Publication and use approval may be granted subject to any conditions the
appropriate controlling body thinks fit, including a condition that the
wagering service provider pay a fee or a series of fees of an amount or
amounts and in the manner specified in the approval.

(5) Any fee that is payable as a condition of the approval is a debt due to
the appropriate controlling body that granted the approval and may be
recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction.



(6) Publication and use approval-

   (a)  takes effect on the day specified by the appropriate controlling body
        in the approval; and

   (b)  remains in force for the period specified by the appropriate
        controlling body in the approval, unless revoked earlier under
        subsection (7).

wagering service provider, may-

   (a)  vary the publication and use approval (including a variation of the
        conditions to which the approval is subject); or

   (b)  revoke the publication and use approval for any reasonable cause
        stated by the appropriate controlling body in the notice of
        revocation.
