Provide your feedback on gambling harm in Knox

Listen

We have developed a draft Gambling Harm Prevention Policy to set out how we will minimise gambling related harm in Knox and want to confirm that the draft policy reflects the input provided by the community from the phase 1 consultation in August 2024.

Knox residents face greater financial losses from electronic gaming machines than compared to residents of metropolitan Melbourne. Every day, an average of $217,000 is lost to electronic gambling machines in Knox.

Although gambling is a legitimate form of entertainment, research consistently shows that it can cause significant harm to some individuals, families and communities. The negative impacts of gambling may include relationship issues, mental health and financial problems. Anyone can be impacted by gambling harm on a short-term or long-term basis.

The draft Gambling Harm Prevention Policy sets out how we will minimise or prevent health, social and economic harms associated with gambling in the Knox community through four key priority areas:

  • planning and regulation
  • building community capacity
  • leadership
  • advocacy.

The draft policy was shaped by your feedback from the phase 1 consultation in August 2024.

You can have your say on the draft policy before midnight on Wednesday 22 October 2025 by online, in person, by email, in writing or by chatting over the phone.
