We are encouraging local communities to have their say on the Hutt City Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) covering the sale and supply of alcohol. Communities have till 4pm on Monday 1 July to put their views.
Your feedback is important in ensuring council considers your views when regulating off and on licenses, one-way door restrictions, and other licensing matters outlined in the LAP.
The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (SSAA) allows local authorities to create a LAP and put in place a new system of control that aims to ensure that alcohol is consumed safely and responsibly.
We as council can now make a change in our local communities and let the people be heard through LAP’s. Communities are able to restrict or extend trading hours of premises, limit the location and density of licences or impose conditions on licensed premise
We work closely with Police and our Hutt Valley Police Area Commander Mike Hill acknowledges alcohol misuse is a key driver of crime.
Copies of the LAP are available from the council administration building, 30 Laings Road, local libraries and on the council website www.huttcity.govt.nz/haveyoursay
