Rodney District Council Bylaws - FAQs

Liquor Bans

Why do we need a ban on drinking in public?
As a preventative measure so that people are not bothered by unruly behaviour and the Police can take prompt steps to nip problems in the bud.
 

Why not have bans on all beaches?
The advice of the Police is that there is no problem in most places, and they only have limited resources to enforce a ban where it is really needed. The Council can extend the ban if it needs to.
 

How will I know where the ban is?
There will be public notices in the papers and signs on roads and posters in local buildings.
 

If in a banned area can I take liquor home from the store?
Yes.
 

Can I picnic on Orewa Beach and have a bottle of wine?
Yes, but not between the area of beach bounded by Moenui Avenue and an extension of West Hoe Road (approximately between Kinloch Reserve and Kohu Street).
