Local Impact Assessment (LIA)

NSW gaming & clubs

The statutory community-and-harm assessment a venue must complete when applying to L&GNSW for new gaming-machine entitlements, to increase its entitlement count, or to relocate entitlements between venues. The LIA tests the application against the local-area socio-economic profile and proposes harm-mitigation conditions. A Class 1 LIA covers low-impact changes; a Class 2 LIA applies to larger applications and triggers a higher community-objection threshold under the Gaming Machines Act 2001.

This term sits in the NSW gaming & clubs section of the working glossary — vocabulary drawn from the Gaming Machines Act 2001, the Liquor Act 2007, the Registered Clubs Act 1976, and L&GNSW guidance.
