Question
I refer to the Racing and Wagering Western Australia Rules of Racing and I ask for the guidelines and/or decision matrix used by the Racing Stewards to determine whether or not a person is of suitable character to own and race greyhounds?
Answered on 26 November 2020
Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) has the RWWA Integrity Assurance Committee (IAC) Licensing Policy see tabled paper no # which sets out the fit and proper person test.
Applications are assessed by RWWA Stewards subject to defined criteria considering the policy and a person antecedent.
The RWWA General Manager Racing Integrity has delegated authority to approve licenses with the IAC determining any applications that are not approved by the General Manager where the individual applies for a hearing.
