The Christchurch City Council is seeking public feedback on options for conditions and rules that a Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) could have.

Background: councils can develop local alcohol policies that set out rules and conditions about how alcohol is sold and supplied in their districts. The Christchurch City Council’s research has highlighted concerns regarding alcohol-related harm, particularly in areas of higher deprivation, and community feedback strongly supports stricter regulations on the proximity of alcohol outlets to sensitive community facilities.
