When to use it
Use when a council is preparing an objection to a Victorian liquor licence application or variation, before the objection kit is completed.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The tool arranges the amenity or harm points and the evidence titles the lawyer supplies, and the lawyer settles the objection before it is emailed.
AI may
- List evidence titles the lawyer supplies under amenity or, for packaged liquor, under harm.
- Record the 30-day due date from the display date the lawyer enters.
- Prepare a cover note that says the objection kit form is attached, without completing that form.
AI must not
- Do not complete or reproduce the objection kit. The PDF was not opened.
- Do not use a ground the page says cannot be considered.
- Do not predict the decision Liquor Control Victoria will make.
The lawyer checks
- Confirm the objection is one the page says can be considered, including the packaged-liquor limit on harm.
- Send the kit form, not this sheet, to contact@liquor.vic.gov.au.
- Tell the council the objection and contact details are shared with the applicant.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
