The Attorney-General, Simon Corbell MLA, has released a paper “Proposals for Regulatory Reform” to provide key stakeholders and the community with an opportunity to consider proposals for further legislative reform which have been suggested to streamline the Liquor Act 2010 and make it more effective.  These proposals were either identified in the two-year Review report or through subsequent representation from, or discussions with, stakeholders.

In addition to providing comments on the proposals in this paper, stakeholders and members of the community are welcome to identify other proposals for reform.

The paper represents the latest stage of the government’s consultation with key stakeholders and the broader community as part of its response to the two-year review of the 2010 liquor reforms.

Detailed information on the 2010 liquor reforms and the two-year review.

The Paper “Proposals for Regulatory Reform” is open for consultation until 2 October 2015.

Stakeholders and members of the community can provide feedback directly to the Justice and Community Safety Directorate by 2 October 2015 at ACTLiquorReview@act.gov.au or by writing to:
