                                         e  anapplication for additional licensed premises
                                         e  an application to have the approved number of gaming
                                            machines for licensed premises increased by a significant
                                            number (to be fixed under a Regulation)
                                         e  another application that the Commissioner designates, by
                                            written notice to the applicant, as an application of significant
                                            community impact.
                                     The Gaming Machine Regulation 2002 prescribes that a significant
                                     number for an increase in gaming machines is considered to be —
                                         (a) for category 1 licensed premises —10 or more; and
                                         (b) for category 2 licensed premises—20 or more.
                                     In these instances, local government (as a member of the public) may
                                     make a submission to the Commissioner for Liquor and Gaming who
                                     will give particular consideration to the following:
                                         e  how the licence will contribute to, or detract from, a sense of
                                            community in the area
                                         e  the anticipated effect the licence may have on the social
                                            integrity of the community
                                         e  how the licence may affect those visiting a place of worship,
                                            child care centres, schools and community social services
                                         e  the effect the licence could have on the amenity or the
                                            character of the locality
                                         e  the number of supportive comments and negative comments
                                            - specific to gaming and the application - that are lodged.
                                     Under   section  55F   of  the  Gaming   Machine   Act   1991,  the
                                     Commissioner may also invite representations on an application of
                                     ‘significant community impact’ from —
                                         (a) the local government for the area in which the premises for
                                            which the licence is sought are situated; and
                                         (b) from any other entity that has, in the commissioner's opinion,
                                            a proper interest in the matter.
