The Casino, Liquor and Gaming Control Authority is still considering the application, but the club's chief executive, Rob Riddle, said he expected a positive result.

"They [the authority] created the base level of 150 which is allowable," Mr Riddle said.

"They haven't come back to discuss anything with us, so I don't believe there are any issues there."

Mr Riddle said he expected a decision to be made "by the end of this month".

"That was the indication I was given," he said.

Mr Riddle said he expected "the next hurdle" would be overcoming the changes to gaming laws advocated by independent MP Andrew Wilkie shortly after the federal election.

"That's the federal government issue that came from Andrew Wilkie and his deal with the PM to ensure they got in as a majority government," Mr Riddle said of the poker machine reforms.

"The ATMs within licensed premises, betting limits on machines — we would need to review our business plan based on that if it was to come into place and then we would proceed to make sure we have got everything right and all the boxes ticked."

Asked if Mr Wilkie's proposal would jeopardise the $14 million country club plan, Mr Riddle said: "I don't think it puts it in jeopardy, but we would need a lot more cash".

Mr Riddle said he would continue to "jump each hurdle one after another" in order to deliver a club that had been seven years in the making.

"This is something new," he said.

"It has been a long time since anyone has built a new club. This is what Camden needs because it is a growing area.

"We're excited, so we'll be patient."

Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club's application for a country club in Porrende Street was approved by Camden Council in August and a club licence was granted by the Casino, Liquor and Gaming Control Authority late last year.
