ACT clubs carry mandatory community contributions tied to gaming revenue, with reporting the board has to sign off.
134
compliance obligations that apply to a registered club in Australian Capital Territory, pre-loaded and ready to track from the day you set up.
Clubs in the Australian Capital Territory that hold gaming machines must make mandatory community contributions calculated from net gaming machine revenue, and report them to the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission each year. The territory has also been reducing the overall gaming machine cap, so entitlements and forward planning are a live governance issue rather than a settled one.
Liquor sits under the Liquor Act 2010 and is administered through Access Canberra, while a club that is a company limited by guarantee carries its Corporations Act duties and AGM obligations as well. The community-contribution reporting is the piece boards most often need a clear audit trail for, and it pays to keep the evidence in one place across the year.
