- Liquor Control Bylaw
- Control of Skateboarding Bylaw
- Liquor Licensing Policy
Council is reviewing its liquor control bylaw, the liquor licensing policy, and the control of skateboards bylaw. It invites public submissions on these documents.
The revised liquor control bylaw and policy is aimed at reflecting the views of the community. These bylaw changes are very timely given the Law Commission’s recommendation to tighten the laws around who can buy and sell liquor and where and when it may be sold. Council hopes residents will say what they think needs to happen in the District.
The draft Bylaw proposes to extend the current liquor ban areas in Marton, Taihape and Hunterville and to introduce liquor ban areas in Bulls and Rātana. It also proposes to extend the liquor bans to cover vehicles parked within the specified areas.
Council has also reviewed its bylaw on skateboarding. The draft Control of Skateboarding Bylaw proposes to maintain the areas of control in Marton, Taihape and Hunterville and to introduce a control area in Bulls. Council will be seeking the views of young people with a particular interest in skateboarding.
The period of consultation on all three documents is Saturday 1st May until 4 pm on Tuesday 1st June 2010. Copies of the draft documents and submission forms are available from all Council offices, from the website www.rangitikei.govt.nz or by ringing 0800 422 522.
