Food and Alcohol Licensing

The Chatham Islands Council adopted a Liquor Licensing Policy in 2008.

The purpose of the Liquor Licensing Policy is to set out the expectations of Council and the community in respect of meeting the object of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989, namely “to establish 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, so far as can be achieved by legislative means”.
