The Lottery Corporation could learn a thing or two from Lotterywest about considering new outlets

Lotterywest has been engaging with existing retailers on the process of considering new possible locations:

Dear

In June we launched our new Expression of Interest process for sourcing new Lotterywest outlets and business owners, giving retailers the best opportunity to operate a successful lottery business in prime locations for player access.

New locations
Lotterywest identifies locations by assessing their potential to support a new outlet and is only approved after a thorough process that indicates unmet player demand, minimal impact to existing retailers and a benefit to the community.

New locations approved under this new process are now available to view via the Lotterywest website and on Retail Link.

Anyone interested in opening a new outlet for any of these locations must complete and submit an online application by 5pm, Wednesday 9 November.

Expression of Interest applications
Applications for new locations are assessed through a fair and competitive process, considering the most suitable combination of location, business type and business owner.

Business plan assessments, site visits and face-to-face interviews will be conducted with shortlisted candidates before appointing the successful applicant.

How to apply?
Please visit our website to view available locations, download our EOI Information Pack, and apply.

We are also holding an information session on Tuesday 4 October at 6pm. You can attend in person at our Lotterywest office or join online. Please email retail.enquiries@lotterywest.wa.gov.au to register your attendance.

If you have any questions, please contact Customer Services on 133 777 and ask to be put in contact with Retail Support or your RRO.

Kind regards,
Lotterywest

The most common complaint I get from retailers about The Lottery Corporation is their lack of transparency and fairness when it comes to new outlet consideration.
