| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the event brief, the site plan, the expected attendance and hours, and the organiser’s details, populate the regulator’s special event licence application, calculate the latest on-time lodgement date, list the conditions and training the event’s size and hours trigger, and draft the event’s liquor management plan from the firm’s template. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer confirms the event qualifies for the licence type (alcohol is not the sole reason for the event), checks the management plan’s controls are ones the organiser will actually run, anticipates police and council comments, and settles the application before lodgement. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the event brief, the site plan, the expected attendance and hours, and the organiser’s details, populate the regulator’s special event licence application, calculate the latest on-time lodgement date, list the conditions and training the event’s size and hours trigger, and draft the event’s liquor management plan from the firm’s template.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the event qualifies for the licence type (alcohol is not the sole reason for the event), checks the management plan’s controls are ones the organiser will actually run, anticipates police and council comments, and settles the application before lodgement.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Calculate the lodgement deadline from the event start date and diarise it.
2. Check the attendance and finishing time against the training thresholds.
3. Confirm the site plan shows the licensed area the application describes.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
