and\n\n(c) impose restrictions on the counting of votes in respect of the appointment, replacement and removal of a director of the Approved Company so as to prevent the votes attaching to all substantial foreign shareholdings being counted in respect of the appointment, replacement or removal of more than one‑third of the directors of the Approved Company who hold office at any particular time, so that at any particular time not less than two thirds of the directors of the Approved Company have been appointed by a resolution of shareholders in respect of which no votes attaching to any substantial foreign shareholding was counted;

and\n\n(d) a reference to the requirements of the State Agreement includes the provisions and restrictions that must be included in this Constitution under clause 17 of the State Agreement.\n\n**Background**\n\n3.2 The State Agreement requires this Constitution to comply with certain requirements. These requirements include restrictions on the acquisition and ownership and voting of Shares. Accordingly, it is necessary to regulate these matters in the manner set out in this Article 3. Except as set out in Articles 3.6 to 3.9A inclusive, Shares in the Company may be acquired, owned, and the voting rights in respect of those Shares may be exercised, in any manner permitted by the other provisions of this Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.\n\n3.3 The Company’s compliance with the Listing Rules and the granting of CHESS approval for its securities may limit the Company’s ability to restrict registration of transfer of Company Securities prior to the Company being satisfied that there would be no breach of the requirements of the State Agreement. Accordingly, this Article 3 contains provisions consistent with the requirements of the State Agreement which entitle the Directors in certain circumstances to deprive a person of rights and powers in relation to Company Securities registered in a person’s name and to order the divestiture of Company Securities.\n\n3.4 The Company, its members and holders of Company Securities acknowledge and recognise that the exercise of the powers given to the Company and its Directors under this Article 3 may cause individual members and holders of Company Securities considerable financial disadvantage, but the members, holders of Company Securities and Company acknowledge that such a result is necessary to enable the Company to comply with the requirements of the State Agreement.\n\n3.5 The powers conferred under this Article 3 are to be interpreted widely. In exercising the powers under this Article 3, the Directors are entitled to have sole regard to the interests of the Company and may disregard any loss or disadvantage that may be suffered by individual members or holders of Company Securities affected by the exercise of those powers. Members and holders of Company Securities acknowledge that they have no right of action against the Directors or the Company for any loss or disadvantage incurred by them as a result, whether directly or indirectly, of the Directors exercising the powers pursuant to this Article 3.\n\n**Restrictions on ownership of Shares**\n\n3.6 A person is not eligible to be issued, acquire or own (including own jointly) Shares if, as a result of that issue, acquisition or ownership, foreign persons would have a relevant interest in Shares that represent in total more than 40% of the voting Shares in the Company. This does not apply to the extent that the Minister by notice to the Company has exempted any existing or future holding of Shares by a specified person from this restriction for a period specified in the notice.\n\n3.7 A person is not eligible to be issued Shares if as a result of that issue an individual person would have a relevant interest in Shares that represent more than 10% of the voting Shares in the Company, unless in relation to that person the Company:\n\n(a) has received a probity approval notice;\n\n(b) has not received an approval cancellation notice; and\n\n(c) has not received a section 17 notice.\n\n3.7A A person is not eligible to own (including own jointly) Shares if as a result of that ownership an individual person (a “substantial holder”) would have a relevant interest in Shares that represent more than 10% of the voting Shares in the Company:\n\n(a) after the expiry of the probity review period in relation to that person, unless the Company has received a probity approval notice in relation to that person; or\n\n(b) at any time after the Company has received an approval cancellation notice or a section 17 notice in relation to that person.\n\n**Voting**\n\n3.8 On any vote in respect of the appointment, replacement or removal of a Director, the votes attaching to any substantial foreign shareholdings will not be counted in respect of the appointment, replacement or removal of more than one‑third of the Directors who hold office at any particular time, so that at any particular time not less than two‑thirds of the Directors have been appointed by a resolution of Shareholders in respect of which no votes attaching to any substantial foreign shareholding was counted.\n\n3.9 For the purposes of Article 3.8, a “substantial foreign shareholding” is a shareholding of 10% or more of the voting Shares in the Company in which a particular foreign person has a relevant interest.\n\n3.9A On any vote at a meeting of members or a class of members, where any individual person holds a relevant interest in Shares that represent more than 10% of the voting Shares in the Company and in relation to that person the Company:\n\n(a) has not received a probity approval notice; or\n\n(b) has received a section 17 notice,\n\nthe votes cast in respect of those Shares will be disregarded to the extent that they exceed the total number of votes that could have been cast on that resolution in respect of 10% of the voting Shares in the Company.\n\n**Enforcement powers of Directors**\n\n3.10 The Directors have the following powers to enable them to enforce the restrictions referred to in Articles 3.6, 3.7, 3.7A, 3.8 and 3.9A:\n\n(a) the power to do anything necessary to effect the transfer or disposal of Company Securities held by a person in accordance with Articles 3.21 ‑ 3.25;\n\n(b) the power to remove or limit the right of a person to exercise voting rights attached to voting Shares in accordance with Articles 3.27 ‑ 3.29;\n\n(c) the power to end the appointment of a person to the office of Director in accordance with Article 3.26;\n\n(d) the power to suspend the rights to dividends attaching to a Share; and\n\n(e) the power to require or cause divesture of Company Securities held by a person in accordance with Articles 3.21 ‑ 3.25.\n\n**Change of name**\n\n3.11 The Company must not take any action to bring about a change of the company name under which the Company is registered for the purposes of the Corporations Act to a name that does not include the word “Burswood”, unless the prior approval of the Minister has been obtained.\n\n**Head office**\n\n3.12 The head office of the Company must always be located in Western Australia. For this purpose, “head office” means the place of business of the Company where central management and control are exercised.\n\n**Board of Directors**\n\n3.13 Any one Shareholder must not nominate more than one of the Directors unless:\n\n(a) that Shareholder holds more than 10% of the voting shares in the Company; and\n\n(b) the Company has received a probity approval notice, and has not received a section 17 notice, in relation to that Shareholder.\n\n3.14 At all times at least two‑thirds of the Directors must be Australian citizens.\n\n3.15 At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the Director presiding at or chairing the meeting (however described) must be an Australian citizen.\n\n**Place of incorporation**\n\n3.16 The Company must not at any time take any action to become incorporated outside Australia.\n\n**Auditor**\n\n3.17 The Company must appoint the Auditor or Auditors of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act, but no person may be so appointed as Auditor unless that person’s appointment has first been approved by the Minister.\n\n**Making information available**\n\n3.18 The Company and the Directors must make available for inspection by the Minister, the Commission or the Commission’s Nominated Representative all information held in respect of the ownership, holdings of Shares and other Company Securities, Directors or corporate structure of the Company, and all minutes of meetings of Shareholders and Directors and other records relating thereto.\n\n**Right to attend and speak**\n\n3.19 The Commission or the Commission’s Nominated Representative is entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of the Company or its Directors as though it or he or she were a Shareholder or a Director. Nothing contained in this Article confers on the Commission or the Commission’s Nominated Representative a right to vote.\n\n3.20 The Company must deliver to the Commission a copy of all notices that are forwarded to Shareholders or Directors of such meetings in the same manner and at the same time as such notices are forwarded to Shareholders or Directors as the case may be.\n\n**Right to transfer**\n\n3.21 The Directors have the right to effect the transfer or disposal of Company Securities held by a person to the extent considered necessary by the Directors to prevent a possible contravention or a possible continuation of a contravention of the restrictions referred to in Articles 3.6, 3.7 and 3.7A.\n\n3.22 If the Directors reasonably believe that circumstances exist which permit them to effect the transfer or disposal of Company Securities under Article 3.21, the Directors may by notice in writing (“Sale Notice”) to the holder of the Company Securities specified in the Sale Notice require that, within 30 days of the date of the Sale Notice (or such other period as specified in the Sale Notice provided that where the period is reduced the ASX gives its approval to the reduction):\n\n(a) those Company Securities be transferred or disposed of; or\n\n(b) the holder satisfy the Directors that the requirements of Articles 3.6, 3.7 and 3.7A have not been and will not be contravened.\n\n**Right to require information**\n\n3.23 A person holding Company Securities must, if required by notice from the Company, furnish to the Company within 15 days of the date of the notice (or within such other period as the Directors notify, provided that where the period is reduced the ASX gives its approval to the reduction) a written statement by that person, or in the case of a corporation by a director or secretary of that corporation, in a form approved by the Directors (and if required by the Directors verified by statutory declaration or by other means acceptable to the Directors) setting out whatever information is in the opinion of the Directors necessary for the Directors to determine the eligibility of that person or corporation to continue to hold Company Securities having regard to the requirements of Articles 3.6, 3.7 and 3.7A.\n\n**Power to disenfranchise and dispose**\n\n3.24 If a person fails to comply with a requirement of Articles 3.22 or 3.23 and the Directors know of such failure:\n\n(a) the Directors may, at any time, declare by notice in writing (“**Suspension Notice**”) to the person who is the holder of the Company Securities that the voting interests, dividend interests and winding up interests that the holder is entitled to (under this Constitution or by any law) in relation to those Company Securities that the Directors believe are or may be held in breach of Article 3.6, 3.7 or 3.7A are, to the extent declared in the notice, suspended from the date of the Suspension Notice until the Company Securities are disposed of in accordance with clause 3.22 or until a written statement or statutory declaration or both is provided as required by Article 3.23; and\n\n(b) in the case of a person failing to comply with Article 3.23 ‑ if within 15 days of the date of a Suspension Notice the relevant written statement or statutory declaration or both has not been provided, the Directors may give notice in writing (“**Disposal Notice**”) to the holder of the Company Securities requiring that the Company Securities (or some of them) must be transferred or disposed of within 30 days of the date of the Disposal Notice (or such other period as is specified in the Disposal Notice provided that where the period is reduced the ASX gives its approval to the reduction).\n\n3.25 If a notice under Article 3.22 or 3.24(b) is not complied with by the holder of the Company Securities within the time limit specified, the Directors may appoint a person to execute any documents and implement any procedures that may be required to procure the transfer or disposal of the Company Securities on behalf of the holder and to receive and give a good discharge for the purchase price.

The Act began as ratification of a single development agreement to enable construction of the Burswood casino and resort (ratifying Schedule 1). Over time it has grown into a persistent statutory commercial and regulatory framework governing taxation, corporate ownership limits, land and planning special rules, permitted gaming categories, board funding and governance. Concrete expansions include: (a) mandatory constitutional provisions and approved‑company rules and probity controls (Seventh Supplementary Agreement cl.17A and Schedule B; ss.11–17); (b) replacement/extension of a simple casino tax into a multi‑component, time‑phased set of \"Casino Taxes\" with formulas and ministerial review powers (Eighth and later Supplementary Agreements inserting Schedules C, D, E, F and later replacements); (c) repeated land boundary adjustments, reserve excisions and special planning exemptions (ss.5–7 and multiple supplementary schedules); and (d) added regulatory detail on new game types and modernised notice/communications provisions (multiple later Schedules). These additions move the instrument from one‑off project ratification to a long‑running, actively managed statutory regime that shapes ownership, taxation and regulatory oversight of the Burswood casino complex."},"complexity_factors":["Large primary Agreement (Schedule 1) with detailed commercial, land, corporate and gaming provisions spanning 37+ substantive clauses.","Eighteen separate Schedules (Schedules 1–18), many of them supplementary agreements that insert, replace or stage complex new rules (tax schedules, constitution amendments, game lists).","Numerous cross‑references to other statutes (Casino Control Act 1984 / Control Act, Planning and Development Act, Corporations Act/Corporations Law, Land Acts, Liquor Act/Control Act, Gaming & Wagering Acts) creating multi‑legislation dependencies.","Multiple entrenched provisions (s.10) and a later supplementary agreement (s.4D / Eighth Supplementary Agreement) that, to an extent, permits amendment of those entrenched items — layered entrenchment exceptions.","Extensive defined terminology across the Act and the Agreement (dozens of defined terms; core commercial definitions, tax terms and gaming‑category definitions) that feed into tax formulae and ownership rules.","Complex conditional tax formulas and time‑staged rates (Schedules C, F, etc.) with retrospective adjustment mechanisms and ministerial review powers (Schedule 1 cl.23 and subsequent Schedules).","Multi‑step probity and shareholding regime with notification triggers, strict time windows, application/investigation procedures, costs recovery, cancellation and forced‑disposal powers (ss.11–17).","Numerous administrative discretions for Minister and Commission (approvals, exemptions, orders under s.3A and s.7(2b), tax review notices) with exceptions and caps (e.g. limits on tax increases).","Nested exceptions and amendments: later supplementary agreements frequently modify earlier clauses, replace schedules or insert new definitions, creating layered conditional logic.","Arbitration and dispute mechanisms that interact with suspension/cure periods for defaults (Schedule 1 cl.33; termination and remedy clauses in cl.26–27)."],"plain_english_summary":"**What this law does (mechanics)\n\n- Ratifies and gives legal effect to a long‑term commercial agreement between the State of Western Australia and private parties (the Trustee and the Manager) for construction, development and operation of the Burswood casino/resort. (See s.4 and Schedule 1.)\n\n- Gives that agreement effect despite other State laws: the Agreement and many later supplementary agreements operate notwithstanding other Acts (see ss.4, 4A–4H). The Act also permits new agreements that alter the Agreement to be added to the Act by order (s.3A).\n\n- Changes land status and planning rules for the resort site: it cancels or amends particular Crown reserves and makes parts of the Resort Lands operate outside the Metropolitan Region Scheme and some local planning schemes, subject to Ministerial orders (ss.5–7). The Minister can require streets shown on the resort drawings to be surveyed and dedicated (s.8).\n\n- Ratifies a detailed commercial State–private contract (the Agreement in Schedule 1) that sets out development obligations, a staged construction timetable, the grant of land, obligations to spend minimum sums on development, and intended security and assurances to enable private capital (Schedule 1, clauses 3, 6, 7, 9, 14–17).\n\n- Governs the casino licence and exclusivity: provision for the grant of the Burswood Casino gaming licence, listed authorised games, a 15‑year period of exclusivity for certain games (clauses 21–22 of Schedule 1), and special conditions on credit and Committee oversight (Schedule 1, cl.21(d),(e)).\n\n- Establishes ongoing payments and taxes: the trustee must pay casino taxes and licence/board fees calculated by reference to casino revenues; the Agreement and later supplementary Schedules set specific tax formulas and time‑staged rates for Electronic Gaming Machines, Table Games, International Commission Business and related levies (Schedule 1 cl.23; see Schedules C, F, etc inserted by later supplementary agreements).\n\n- Controls corporate ownership and governance of the entities that hold the casino interests: the Act (as amended) creates a regime of \"approved companies\" with mandatory constitutional provisions (mandatory articles) that impose limits on foreign and individual holdings, voting rules, director composition, head office location, and other restrictions. It creates a Commission‑based probity approval and notification regime for substantial shareholders (ss.11–17; Schedule B and cl.17A in Schedule 4 / Seventh Supplementary Agreement).\n\n- Gives administrative enforcement tools: the Commission may investigate applicants for probity approval, issue or cancel probity approval notices, and the Minister (on advice of the Commission) may issue orders requiring disposal of shares and may impose fines for non‑compliance (ss.12–17). The Agreement also provides arbitration and other dispute mechanisms (Schedule 1, cl.33).\n\n- Continues to be amended by a sequence of supplementary agreements (Schedules 2–18) inserted over decades that modify taxation, corporate rules, board composition, land boundaries, permitted games (including simulated/automated variants), fees and other commercial terms.\n\n\nWho it affects (directly)\n\n- The Trustee (the trust vehicle holding the Site) and the Manager — primary commercial operators under the Agreement (Schedule 1).\n- The approved company that holds the publicly traded interests in the Trust (the \"Approved Company\", see cl.17A and Schedule B). \n- Substantial shareholders (natural persons, corporations or foreign persons) — affected by notification, probity and mandatory constitutional restrictions (ss.11–17; Schedule B).\n- The Gaming Commission (or Commission) and the Minister — who exercise approvals, reviews of tax rates, probity assessments, board nominations and some reserve/land powers (e.g. ss.6, 7, 17A, 23).\n- Local government and state planning authorities — their normal planning controls are modified within the Resort Lands (s.7).\n- The Board responsible for the Resort Site — receives funds from the Trustee and has prescribed spending purposes (Schedule 1, cl.23 and later amendments).\n- General public/users of the resort and competing operators — because exclusivity, permitted games, and land use rules affect where and how similar businesses can operate (Schedule 1, cl.22; s.7).\n\n\nWhy it matters (practical effects and incentives)\n\n- It converts a negotiated commercial development contract into statutory force and gives that contract primacy over inconsistent State laws (s.4). Mechanically, that reduces legal uncertainty for the investor by ensuring specified permissions, payments and protections are protected by statute.\n\n- It creates concentrated, long‑term economic rights and revenue flows: the Trustee pays upfront and staged amounts for the Site (Schedule 1, cl.6(4)), the casino pays ongoing casino taxes and Board/annual fees (Schedule 1, cl.23), and the Agreement grants a period of exclusivity for certain casino games (15 years, Schedule 1 cl.22(3)). These mechanisms create predictable cash flows for both the operator and the State but also lock in a particular business model and revenue sharing formula for decades.\n\n- It imposes ownership and governance constraints designed to control who may hold material stakes in the business: individual holding limits (10% threshold for notice and probity processes; see ss.11–13), foreign ownership caps in company constitutions (40% cap in Schedule B/Seventh Supplementary Agreement), mandatory constitution provisions (Schedule B), and director composition rules. Those rules change the incentives for investors (they raise the cost and friction of acquiring significant positions and shift some control to the Minister/Commission via approvals).\n\n- It reassigns planning and land management authority for the Resort Lands: local planning and the Metropolitan Region Scheme are made not to apply within Resort Lands except where the Minister orders otherwise (s.7). That reduces regulatory friction for the developer but reduces the local planning authority’s control over that land.\n\n- It places compliance burdens on proposed large shareholders (probity applications, information provision and possible investigative costs: s.14), and creates enforcement remedies including cancellation of probity approval, orders to dispose of shares and monetary penalties (ss.15–17). Those add administrative cost to large ownership changes and create a regulatory gatekeeping function.\n\n\nOfficial rationale and a short test of trade‑offs\n\n- The instrument’s stated purpose is to enable delivery of a major resort/casino development by giving the private developer legal certainty, security and incentives to raise the required capital (Schedule 1, recitals and cl.6). Mechanically that is achieved by statutory ratification, grant of land, zoning protection and certain market exclusivities.\n\n- Trade‑offs and implementation risks to note (mechanisms, not judgments):\n  - Concentrated benefit: many rights (land, exclusivity, special tax rules) flow to the Trustee/Manager and later to the Approved Company. Those are concentrated commercial benefits for a small set of private parties (Schedule 1 clauses on payment, exclusivity and corporate arrangements). The State receives defined payments and taxes in return (cl.6(4), cl.23 and later Schedules).  \n  - Diffuse costs/opportunity cost: exclusivity and exemptions from normal planning controls constrain competition (Schedule 1 cl.22 and s.7). The State foregoes alternative uses or potential competing developments on or near the site.  \n  - Compliance and administrative burden: the probity regime (ss.11–17) creates recurring administrative work for the Commission and cost for applicants (s.14(6)). The law also gives the Commission and the Minister discretionary powers (e.g. to approve shareholders, set tax rates by notice — Schedule 1 cl.23 and later amendments). Broad discretion raises implementation risk and requires robust administrative processes to avoid arbitrary outcomes.  \n  - Rent‑shifting and substitution effects: mandatory constitutional restrictions and directors’ enforcement powers (Schedule B) can force divestment or suspend voting rights — this changes the liquidity and market for shares and may deter some investors or raise valuation discounts.  \n  - Enforcement and dispute resolution: many matters are subject to arbitration under the Agreement (Schedule 1, cl.33). Arbitration can be quicker than court but shifts costs to the parties and can produce private procedural rules; the Act also ties some approvals to Minister/Commission absolute discretion (Schedule 1 cl.35(2)).  \n\nWho pays and who decides (plain statements)\n\n- The Trustee pays the State for the Site and ongoing casino taxes and Board fees (Schedule 1 cl.6(4), cl.23). \n- The Board (constituted under the Agreement) receives a monthly/annual amount from the Trustee and must apply it to Resort Site purposes (Schedule 1 cl.23 and later amendments defining permitted uses). \n- The Commission investigates and issues probity approvals and provides advice to the Minister (ss.11–15). \n- The Minister has powers to approve shareholding structures (cl.17A/Seventh Supplementary), to set or review casino tax rates with limits (Schedule 1 cl.23 and later Schedules), to declare land/plan exceptions (s.7(2b)) and to order disposals where probity is not satisfied (s.17).\n\n\nImplementation, compliance burdens and discretion\n\n- The regime creates recurring compliance tasks: notification of >10% relevant interests (s.12), probity applications with information and cost recovery (s.14), constitution amendments to embed mandatory articles (Seventh Supplementary and Schedule B), and tax and Board payment calculations under schedules that change rates over time. Non‑compliance carries significant fines and forced disposal powers (s.12 penalty; s.17 disposal notices and fines).\n\n- The law delegates operational judgment to the Commission and the Minister (approval, review and notice powers). That centralises regulatory gatekeeping and requires transparent administrative procedure to limit uncertainty. (See ss.13–17 and cl.23.)\n\n\nKey sections to consult quickly\n\n- s.4 (ratification and primacy of the Agreement); ss.5–8 (land and planning changes); Schedule 1 (full Agreement: development, licence, taxes, security, arbitration); ss.11–17 (probity, notification and share disposal powers); cl.17A and Schedule B (approved company / mandatory constitutional provisions); cl.23 and inserted Schedules (tax formulas and rates); s.10 (entrenchment of specified parts); s.3A (process to add further altering agreements by order).\n\n(Analyst’s note: the Act began as statutory ratification of a single project agreement but, through many supplementary agreements and orders, now contains a sustained regulatory and commercial framework governing tax rates, corporate ownership, land use and gaming permissions for the Burswood casino complex. That evolution is visible in the multiple Schedules and amendment clauses cited above.)"},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
