Licensing Committee Decisions

The Waipā District Licensing Committee is an independent, standalone committee appointed under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 whose role is to determine all license and managers certificate applicants and respective renewal applications within the Waipa District.

The Chairperson is an independent Commissioner, who sits with two other members selected from a pool for each hearing. The Commissioner can determine applications with no opposition from reporting agencies on their own. The Commissioner and members were selected through a public nomination process as being people with skills suited to the role.

Applications for the suspension or cancellation of licenses or certificates continue to go to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority in Wellington.
