GQL
POLICIES
Under
section 81 of the racing Act 2002, Greyhounds Queensland
must make policies for 23 separate areas and under section
84, these policies must be publicly available. GQL also
makes policies in other areas for the good management of
the industry.
Consultation
drafts of policies allow the racing industry and general
public to have its say on policies that affect it. Draft
policies are publicised for a minimum of 28 days in seeking
comments.
Anyone
with an interest in racing can make a submission on a draft
policy. Submissions should be in writing and reach GQL before
the end of the consultation period for the particular policy.
In
exceptional circumstances GQL may make a policy urgently
without formal consultation from industry. If this occurs,
the interim policy will be reviewed within three months
and will not continue after six months unless the normal
formal consultation process is undertaken.
