This morning, NSW Premier Chris Minns signed a ‘prohibition agreement’ to ban gambling advertising from being displayed on all state-owned transport assets. NSW will prohibit gambling advertising across its transport network, including trains, metro services, trams, and taxis. Additionally, the ban will cover all stations and terminals used by the public.
The ban will be implemented over a 12-month period, during which NSW will work with contract holders to implement the required changes.
As detailed: “NSW operates one of the largest portfolios of advertising assets across Australia. This includes 798 advertising boards at Sydney train stations, 49 road-facing digital billboards, adverts on up to 3,711 urban buses, 76 trams, and across the Tangara train fleet.”
