Council is disappointed by the Endeavour Group (Dan Murphy’s) decision to appeal the Victorian Liquor Commission ruling to refuse a licence to operate in Daylesford, however acknowledge that they have a right to an appeal process. Council and community strongly advocated for the refusal during the submission process and at hearings. We continue to believe that there is a public risk, and any decision to grant a licence would have adverse social impacts.
Council will seek legal advice and determine what steps it will now take.
