Introduction
Managers of successful liquor firms proactively strive to identify key features of potential legislations that
may affect their ventures. In this act, the entrepreneurs identify best practices that may enable them to win
the trust of the local community. Such firms design strategies and mechanisms in line with national agenda
and laws. Similarly, it is the responsibility of the local communities to be aware of the roles of the law
enforcement agencies as far as liquor legislation is concerned.1 In collaboration with non-governmental
organizations, the local communities ensure that the laws are followed to the later and any incidence of non-
compliance is dealt with amicably in the Australian territory.
This report focuses on the actions taken by the local community in an attempt to prevent the establishment of
a liquor firm with reference to South Australia jurisdictional area. It captures the statutory framework within
which the firm is established, the mediation launched by the local community following the legal process to
stop the location of the firm in te vicinity and evaluates the proposals made to intervene. The aim of putting
manufacturers of alcohol to task is to ensure minimum harm to users and the environment.
a. Statutory framework that the proposal would have to conform with
The firm must conform to the following regulations:
a) Children and young people act 2008
b) Education act 2004

The legislation specifies the following concepts within Australia:

ii. The commercial practices of liquor firms
iii. Disciplinary procedure for non-compliance
iv. Offences and duties of the licensed firms
v. The individual permitted to access and consume alcohol
vi. Where alcohol may or may not be consumed, processes or offered for sale
vii. Companies Act of 2015 that focuses on proper record keeping.
b. The type of proposal
This is an unsolicited business proposal
This is where an organization sees an opportunity to produce and supply a commodity to the market
where there is no other firm designing a request for proposal.2
c. The assessment process
An organization should conduct internal audit to ascertain whether it conforms to the stipulations of
the law of the land or not before the national government or the local authority sets in with stringent
measures. Proper assessment is an essential component of a robust compliance program. This is
because it provides an insight into the company’s clear picture of the efforts to achieve compliance
