Sale of Liquor policy review

What do you think?

The Gisborne District Licensing Agency, which is a function of council, has a role to play in the reduction of liquor abuse through its responsibilities and obligations under the Sale of Liquor Act.

Council believes that the key to achieving the aim of the Act is in the promotion of responsible attitudes of both licensees and the public to liquor consumption.  The policy provides guidance and consistency when it comes to liquor licensing matters for the public, police, licensees and licensing inspectors.

The purpose of the Sale of Liquor Policy is to assist with:

• establishing a reasonable system of control over the sale and supply of liquor to the public
• contribute to the reduction of liquor abuse as far as can be achieved by legislative means.

Council is proposing some changes to the current policy and is seeking feedback from the public on these.
