Public consultation meetings

Public meetings at main centres around the country are a chance for you to tell the Law Commission what you think about their preliminary ideas for reform to the liquor laws. These meetings will take the form of public consultations open to the general public and a series of clinics where you can schedule a one-on-one session with staff from the Law Commission. See below for the consultation schedule.

Meetings in bold are Law Commission organised; the others are ALAC facilitated.
