A local alcohol policy (LAP) is a set of decisions made by a local authority (Council) in consultation with its community about the sale and supply of alcohol within its district. Once a LAP is in place, licensing bodies must consider it when they make decisions about alcohol licensing applications.
Council is committed to ensuring that the Ōtorohanga District is a safe place to live, visit and work in.
The LAP remains largely unchanged, however the following key changes have been made to the LAP that was adopted in September 2024 in order to provide more clarity and to make the policy more user friendly. You can find a copy of the policy here.
An introduction to the policy has been created to explain the reason why Council is required to have the LAP.
The purpose and scope of the LAP has been combined to provide clarity on what Council wishes to achieve through the LAP.
Further item to consider for adoption:
Our current LAP states that no new licensed premises directly bordering school, early childcare facility, or place of worship. Consider expanding the list to include the following - ”directly bordering school, early childcare facility, place of worship, marae, or health facilities."
