David Harris<\/strong>, said: \u201cRemoving this signage for pubs and clubs is just one part of our commitment to reducing gambling harm in our community and I thank licensees and industry bodies for getting on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe have been working positively and proactively with industry associations and venues across the state to educate, inform and support them through this process and ensure this high level of compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe welcome the positive impact this campaign has had on the exteriors of licensed venues which now solely feature advertisements for a diverse range of offerings such as food and beverage specials, live music and entertainment instead of signs designed to advertise the presence of gaming machines. It makes a noticeable difference to the amenity of our cities and suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt’s great to see industry and government working together to prevent and reduce gambling harm in the community and we will continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
