I thank the member for some notice of this question. The work that is undertaken around this comes under drug and alcohol services, which comes under the Mental Health portfolio. That is why it was redirected to me. (1)–(2) There are three full-time officers working on liquor licensing–related matters, including responding to community requests for assistance in some national projects. Amongst their duties, these officers investigate liquor licence applications to assess their potential level of harm within communities, and provide advice to the executive director of public health in his statutory role as described within the Liquor Control Act 1988.
