Feed Families Not Pokies Aotearoa Incorporated v Secretary for Internal Affairs - [2024] NZHC 217

Feed Families Not Pokies seeks a declaration as to whether the Gambling Act 2003, as amended in 2013, allows a venue licence to benefit from a minor change in location on approval by the Secretary for Internal Affairs. The High Court declares that it does not. A change in the location of a venue will only apply if the territorial authority so consents in accordance with its relocation policy. That does not affect the validity of licences amended by the Secretary since 2013.
