NSW gaming & clubs

L&GNSW's formal pre-decision notice giving a venue an opportunity to explain why a finding shouldn't lead to disciplinary action (fine, licence condition, suspension). Triggered when inspection findings or a complaint rise to a level the inspector escalates upward. The venue's written response is the last opportunity to influence outcome before formal action.

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.
