Review of Local Alcohol Policy

7 Jun 2022, 12:10 PM

Waitomo District Council is currently review-ing its Local Alcohol Policy 2022 (LAP), and we would like your feedback.


The policy is intended to set a clear frame-work which will be applied to all applications for on, off, club and special licences, tempo-rary authorities, and managers certificates within the Waitomo District.


Council has made some minor amendments to the LAP to improve the introduction sec-tions and also provide more clarity on what the policy covers.

Click here to read about the review and our proposal, or pick up a copy from our main office on Queen Street.


Email: [email protected] to provide feedback and make a submission.


Submissions close 5pm on 1 July 2022
