Effective regulation cannot be achieved in isolation. LCV considers itself as part of a larger integrated regulatory system in which it is committed to working collaboratively with Victoria Police, councils, industry, and communities who each play an important role in harm minimisation.
LCV consults with local councils, residents, and Victoria Police to help inform its licensing decisions, while compliance teams collaborate with Victoria Police and council inspectors on joint enforcement operations.
LCV engages with industry and community through various initiatives such as stakeholder forums, information sessions, and publications. These efforts provide a forum for LCV to hear and better understand the industry and community experience as well as direct its efforts to support duty holders in understanding their obligations and promote current practices.
Through this collaborative approach, LCV aims to:
- Enhance compliance – By fostering cooperation and engagement to gain a better understanding of operational realities and challenges. This enables LCV to develop practical and achievable compliance strategies.
- Share knowledge and experience – LCV leverages expertise and resources of other stakeholders to help address regulatory challenges and promote innovation.
- Build trust – Establishing trust and confidence in the regulatory system and strengthening voluntary compliance from the industry.
- Achieve synergy – Combining efforts with other regulatory bodies and organisations helps LCV contribute to a more cohesive regulatory environment that benefits the community.
