Draft Gambling Policy 2026-2030
An update on Kingston's Gambling Policy 2026 - 2030
Consultation on the draft policy closed on Sunday, 12 April 2026.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. Your input has helped shape the final policy, which outlines the City of Kingston’s approach to gambling and will guide Council's decision-making to help prevent and reduce gambling harm in the community.
The policy aims to support people experiencing gambling harm, as well as those affected by another person's gambling.
The Kingston Gambling Policy 2026-2030 was adopted by Council at the 22 June 2026 Council meeting.
Following two rounds of engagement in 2024 and 2025, we have developed a new Draft Gambling Policy 2026-2030, and want to hear your thoughts.
Your feedback will help us finalise the draft that is presented to Council for adoption later this year.
We recognise that gambling can have significant health, social, and economic impacts on individuals, families, and communities at harmful levels. The policy will guide Council in its decision-making to prevent and reduce the harm from gambling within the City of Kingston.
We encourage you to read through the draft policy and provide your feedback through the survey below. Alternatively, you can provide a submission via email or mail.
