Auckland Council is seeking feedback from the public on alcohol ban areas under the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014.
The bylaw, a requirement under the Local Government Act, requires Auckland to review more than 1,700 existing alcohol bans by 31 October 2015 and to only retain those that meet stricter national criteria. Any bans not reviewed by this time or without sufficient evidence to retain, will lapse.

Local Boards have been given the delegation to review the existing alcohol bans in their local board area. Additionally, council will review 17 bans on areas of regional significance including Maunga (volcanic cones) and regional facilities such as the Auckland Domain.
“The public is familiar with the concept of alcohol bans. Council has evidence on some bans that can stay in place but we need our community to let us know of any concerns regarding alcohol-related issues in other ban areas if they wish to retain them,” says Cr Calum Penrose, Chair of the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee.
Submissions open on Friday, 19 June 2015. To keep an alcohol ban, submissions should be accompanied by evidence of crime or disorder attributed to alcohol and specific to an existing ban area.

Examples of alcohol-related crime or disorder include:
- alcohol-related broken glass and/or litter
- inappropriate behaviour as a result of drinking alcohol (people congregating in public places, drinking alcohol and being noisy and disruptive to neighbours)
- people drinking alcohol which leads to aggressive, intimidating or offensive behaviours towards others.
