Wellington City Council Liquor Licensing Policy

The Council's Liquor Licensing Policy was fully ratified in March 2003:

Liquor Licensing Policy

The Council's liquor licensing policy aims to provide a framework for consistent decision-making about the sale of liquor within Wellington city and help reduce alcohol abuse. It is a combination of community expectations about how alcohol is made available to consumers and legislative requirements governing generally accepted norms of behaviour.

The objective of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989 is to set up a reasonable system of control over the sale and supply of liquor to the public with the aim of contributing to the reduction of liquor abuse. This policy is designed to help the Council in meeting its obligations under the Act.
