26AA Licence amendment decision—small scale machine relocation amendment 

(1) This section applies if a licensee applies for a small scale machine relocation amendment under section 22 (e).

(2) If the commission is concerned that there may be a significant social impact if the licences are amended as proposed in the application, the commission may, by notice in writing to the applicant, require the applicant to provide—

(a) a social impact statement for the application; or

(b) a social impact assessment for the application.

Examples—concern about possible significant social impact because of licence amendment

1 concern that the harm minimisation strategies for the premises may not be sufficient to deal with the increased number of machines at the premises, potentially causing risk to patrons and people in the local community

2 concern that multiple previous small scale machine relocations to the premises may have resulted in a significant increase in the number of machines at the premises, with possible consequential negative social impact
