Marlborough District Council (Council) is proposing to introduce a Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (Act).
Under section 75 of this Act, Council may have a LAP relating to the sale, supply or consumption of alcohol within its district.
A LAP is an opportunity for local communities to have more say on alcohol sales and consumption in their community. It also provides certainty for both regulatory agencies and licensees on what will be permitted for licences.
Submissions are open until 30 May 2025.
