POSTPONEMENT of Cultural Storyboards opening and blessing

Waitomo District Council, with the support of Ngāti Rōrā, have made a call to POSTPONE the official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards. This is due to areas of the walkway suffering from washouts and flooding from recent weather events. The installation of the storyboards and blessing will be held later in the year, which will allow for the walkway to be repaired and stabilised. We thank you for your understanding.

Apply early for Special alcohol licences for summer events

31 Oct 2017

If you're holding an event this summer that will need a special alcohol licence, please plan ahead and apply as soon as possible.

Under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (the Act), all applications must be made at least 20 working days before the event is held (although exceptions can be made for unforseen events such as funerals).

If your event occurs between 20 December 2017 to mid-February 2018 the application must be lodged with the Waitomo District Licensing Committee by 20 November 2017.

That’s because under the Act, non-working days for processing Special Licences are 20 December - 15 January the following year.
