82 Provisional licences (1) The Director may grant to an applicant for a licence under this Part a provisional licence if the Director considers that: (a) a decision in respect of the application may not be made for some time; (b) the conduct of gaming may be prejudiced or disadvantaged if the applicant is not granted a provisional licence; and (c) the issue of the provisional licence will not prejudice or disadvantage gaming or the conduct of gaming. (2) The Director may impose on a provisional licence such conditions as the Director considers are necessary in the public interest.

Gaming Machine Act 1995 85 (3) Where the Director grants a provisional licence, the Director shall issue the licence in the form determined by the Director and endorse on the licence the conditions imposed under subsection (2).

(6) No right of action arises against the Director or any other person because of a decision under subsection (5) in respect of the termination of employment or otherwise.
