## 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

- [Prepare the community impact submission for a liquor licence application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/liquor-gaming-and-wagering-licensing.md#A58-N20261018-3)

## 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.
