Class 4 Gambling Venues Policy and TAB Venues Policy

Class 4 gambling refers to gambling on gaming machines hosted in pubs, hotels and clubs.

Submissions have now closed.

The Class 4 Gambling Venues Policy must state whether or not Class 4 venues can be established in the district, and if so, where. The policy can also restrict the maximum number of gaming machines that may be operated.

The TAB Venues Policy must state whether or not new TAB venues can be established in the district, and if so, where.

Proposed changes to the policies:

  1. Class 4 Gambling Venues Policy

    The current policy has a gaming machine cap of 300 for New Plymouth District (excluding Waitara) and a sinking lid policy for Waitara until the number of gaming machines that may be operated there is reduced to 25.

    We are proposing to introduce a district wide sinking lid policy, which would mean we wouldn’t grant consent for any new Class 4 gambling venues or Class 4 gaming machines.

  2. Class 4 Gambling Venues Policy and TAB Venues Policy

    NPDC is proposing to update the location restrictions within the policies which regulate where new TAB venues may establish and existing Class 4 Gambling venues may be relocated. This will align the policies with the Proposed District Plan. In addition, it is proposed to prevent the relocation of venues to Waitara.
