Mildura's historic Grand Hotel could be transformed into a $300 million casino and holiday complex within a daytrip of Adelaide.
Former Federal Hotels Group and Crown Management Pty Ltd deputy chairman John Haddad is behind the push to build a second casino in Victoria, according to reports in the Sunraysia Daily.
Mr Haddad said a concept plan for the complex, which is understood to include entertainment and conference facilites, has already been presented to Premier John Brumby.
"The river in Mildura is magnificent but it has never been used properly,'' Mr Haddad told 3AW radio.
"The land there can go right to the river and you would open up the riverfront. It would be marvellous for Mildura and also for Victoria.''
Mr Haddad said the casino would double as a regional entertainment and convention centre.
"It has all the ticks. But at this stage it is my initiative -- it's not something that has been developed through the Government. I just mentioned it to the Premier.
"I think people get nervous about gaming. But if it's controlled properly and done well it can be a major attraction and catalyst to bring visitors.''
"I need to speak to people who are concerned that there is too much gambling in the state. Because if it is properly controlled and contained it can be a great plus.''
Grand Hotel owner Don Carrazza told 3AW the complex would be different from Melbourne's Crown Casino.
"I think these facilities will really make a difference to the city," he said. (Credit: News Limited, Wires, Google News)

Gibraltar, Malta.... Tasmania? - ABC - 8th October 2009
A few months ago in an Australian first, the Tasmanian Parliament passed legislation that eliminates tax for online or so-called corporate bookmakers.
The legislation was included in a law passed to sell the state owned TOTE (like a TAB) and attracted little attention until we began looking into it for the 7:30 Report.
Any corporate bookmaker who wants to set up in Tasmania will only have to pay an annual $256,000 licence fee.
And while you may not have heard of corporate bookmakers, plenty of other people have.
According to Racing NSW corporate bookmakers expect to turnover $5 billion this year.
The Tasmanian government says it wants to attract the online gaming dollar to bring jobs to the apple isle.
The famous Waterhouse clan are interested and looking at their options.
The state’s Treasurer, Michael Aird, says the state could potentially become a world-wide hub for corporate bookmakers.
Its tax rate will be amongst the lowest in the world, comparable to places like Gibraltar and Malta.
But is it fair and could Tasmania do better with its tax break? How will other industries feel about it?
Imagine what a boost it would be to a plumber or a hairdresser or any other business owner and you suddenly got a multi-million dollar tax holiday.
And does Tasmania really want to be known world-wide for favouring corporate bookies above other employers?
The island state has a history of pioneering gambling options and opening doors for gaming companies.
It was the first state in the country to allow a casino to operate - after a referendum the Casino at Sandy Bay opened its doors in 1973.
It also let controversial betting exchange Betfair into the country back in 2006 when no other state would touch them.
At the time Betfair was attacked by established betting operators (who it must be said, had a gold mine to protect) on the grounds that allowing someone to bet on a team losing could lead to race fixing.
Betfair says it is about seven or eight times cheaper than traditional TAB betting and is empowering the punter by letting them bet against each other.
The Tasmanian government also gave away the exclusive licence to operate the state’s poker machines to a company called Federal Hotels without putting it out to tender.
In return for agreeing to build a resort at Coles Bay on the state's East Coast the company got a lucrative 20-year monopoly.
In other states the licences fetch millions, even billions of dollars and the state opposition has been strongly critical of the deal.
The Liberal opposition does support the tax break for corporate bookmakers but it’s opposed by the Greens.
It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out over the next few years and whether bookmakers really do flock south.
The government has certainly given it a good crack and another chapter in Tasmania’s long history of gambling may be written. (Credit: ABC)
