Purpose Section 199 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 requires a report to be submitted prior to the 30 th September 2016 from the District Licensing Committee (DLC) to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) covering the period ending 30 th June 2016. Overview of DLC Workload Membership of the Hauraki District Council District Licensing Committee has not changed with the following serving members continuing:- Councillor Paul Milner, the Chairperson, Councillor Gill Leonard, Deputy Chairperson and the three independent persons Mary Carmine, Denis Taylor and John Goodman. The committee presided over two formal DLC contested license applications on 10 th September 2015 an Off Licence renewal for New World and another Off Licence renewal for Waitakaruru Country Store on 25 February 2016. The DLC Chairperson has been kept busy reviewing and approving uncontested license applications throughout the period. Local Alcohol Policy The Council three appeals to the Provisional LAP from Progressive Enterprises Ltd, Super Liquor Holdings Ltd, and Liquorland Ltd relating to the Policy s Off Licence conditions. The New Zealand Police, Waikato Population Health and Food Stuffs Ltd joined the proceedings as interested parties. Council has worked with ARLA and the appellants to resolve the appeals to the Policy. The Council s legal counsel presented the amended Provisional LAP, as agreed upon by all parties, to the Judge of the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) on 4 February Page 1 of 8
2015. The Judge asked for submissions from legal Counsel on the appropriate process to approve a Provisional LAP. In April/May 2015 the Council re-consulted with original submitters to the Draft LAP to establish if those submitters wanted to join the proceedings as interested parties. No other submitters joined the proceedings. The Council s legal counsel submitted the same Provisional LAP to the ARLA with a joint memorandum of all parties at the end of May 2015. After consideration of the Provisional LAP the ARLA indicated it had concerns with the reworded density provision (clause 4.4 Further issuing of off-licences in the District). Progressive Enterprises Ltd made a legal submission on this matter to the ARLA. The ARLA asked for a hearing of submissions on the Provisional LAP scheduled for 3 June 2016 to consider clause 4.4 Further issuing of off-licences in the District. At this hearing the ARLA indicated that the redrafted density clause was ultra vires and recommended new wording. The Judge felt that the wording of the density provision was introducing additional criteria for the licensee to meet that was not permitted by the Act. The Provisional LAP was amended at the request of the Judge and was resubmitted to the ARLA for its final determination.
