Term of Reference 11 specifically requires the Perth Casino Royal Commission (PCRC) to report on any policy, legislative, administrative or structural reforms or changes which might enhance the existing regulatory framework. The purpose of this discussion paper is to explore, at a high level, the changes which might form a recommendation in respect of enhancing the current regulatory framework and seek comment from interested parties and the public in respect of those possible changes.

This paper is split into three parts:

• Part 1 outlines concepts of regulatory theory that might underpin any future recommendations as to enhancement of the regulatory framework.
• Part 2 explores possible future models of regulating the casino environment in Western Australia.
• Part 3 examines aspects of regulation in more detail.
