What is this policy for?
The Shop Trading Hours Act 1990 (the Act) was amended in 2016 to enable Councils to decide whether retailers in their districts could open their shops on Easter Sunday. Previously the Act only allowed shops selling certain types of goods (for example dairies, service stations and garden centres) to remain open on Easter Sunday.
