At its July 2024 Council Meeting, Council deferred consideration of the Draft Gambling Harm Prevention Policy to the 28 August 2024 Council Meeting, allowing officers additional time to meet with potentially impacted parties and further explain the Draft Policy and its implications.

Officers have since developed a fact sheet to clearly outline some of the key statements within the Policy, the implications of these and examples where practical.

Examples of these key Policy statements include:

• guidance around Council support where a group is also being financially supported by an entity with gambling revenue; and
• working with sporting and community groups to support them in delivering gambling-free environments.

The Draft Policy is also proposed to be renamed to the Gambling Harm Minimisation Policy.
