As a council we have to make important decisions about a broad range of services over a large geographical area. A committee meeting is one of the most effective ways to ensure these decisions are made publicly, fairly and on the basis of good advice.

District Licencing Committee
Our aim is to make sure that people in the Waimakariri area can enjoy a safe and happy time in our district's alcohol establishments and to make sure everyone is upholding their legislative responsibilities.
The sale, supply and consumption of alcohol should be undertaken safely and responsibly, and the harm caused by the excessive or inappropriate consumption of alcohol should be minimised. The District Licensing Committee believes that the key to achieving the aims of the Act is in the promotion of responsible attitudes of both licensees and the public in achieving a mature approach to liquor consumption.

The Waimakariri District Licensing Committee (delegated by Council to a subcommittee) is appointed to administer the Council's alcohol licensing framework as determined by the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and the Council’s Local Alcohol Policy.
Chairperson: Councillor Neville Atkinson

The above re-appointments were made at a Council meeting on 3 September 2024. Appointments are for a five-year period. The Committee is established as required by section 186 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.
