Our community's views and experiences of alcohol in Rotorua

In 2024, Council began reviewing its Local Alcohol Policy (LAP). The Council has an important role to play under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 to ensure the sale, supply, and consumption of alcohol in our district is undertaken safely and responsibly. This means minimising alcohol-related harm felt in our communities due to its misuse. To support this responsibility, we are reviewing our LAP, which sets certain rules and conditions on alcohol licenses such as:

• Trading hours
• One-way door restrictions
• The location of premises.

To develop a new LAP, we would like to understand the community's views and experiences related to alcohol, its use and its impact on our rohe - district. Your whakaaro - thoughts and whakahokinga kōrero – feedback, helped to shape policies that promote a healthier community for everyone.
