As part of the initial phase of consultation, racing industry
representatives expressed support for a term of 25 years, or longer if
this can result in higher sales proceeds
A term of 25 to 30 years appears to be sufficient to align the interests
of the operator to invest in and operate the TAB for the long-term
growth and prosperity of the three racing codes in Western Australia
A significantly shorter term may dis-incentivise an operator from
investing in the business, which may then limit returns generated
for the racing industry
A significantly longer term may not necessarily result in materially
higher sales proceeds due to the time value of money (i.e. the
diminishing value of future returns due to discounting) and the
uncertainty of the operating environment beyond 30 years
