I always thought the issue with the GDV had to do with the license?
They were initially operating on a temporary license, but in order for it to continue they had to get a permanent license to keep the venue open.
They supposedly weren't willing to pay Tennis Australia the costs for them to obtain a license and the only reason that it's stayed open is because the SMA were allowing Port to operate it under their liquor license.
I am guessing there is more to it behind the scenes, but there is definitley an underlying sense of entitlement from Port with this because they want to operate the GDV without having to pay for a license.
