Hopes the poorest communities will benefit the most from alcohol law reform.

Their aim is to give communities more of a say about new liquor outlets.

Alcohol Healthwatch executive director Nicki Jackson says deprived communities are hit hardest by new outlets.

She says  bottle stores aren't the only issue.

Jackson says supermarkets can be bad because they normalise drinking and sell alcohol for cheaper.
