EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 This
is a report for an application for a new off-licence for the premises situated
at 6 North Road, Dunedin, and known as “New World Gardens”.
The criteria found at section 105 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012
(the Act) apply to this application.
2 The
applicant is not seeking any changes to the current licence.
3 There
has been no public opposition to the application. Neither of the
reporting agencies have opposed this application. However, the Licensing
Inspector opposes this application.
APPLICANT AND APPLICATION
4 The
Directors and Shareholders of the applicant company, Basnef Limited, have owned
and/or operated New World supermarkets for the past 15 years.
5 The
applicant took possession of the New World Gardens on 01 November 2021.
They are not seeking any changes from the current licence, including the single
alcohol area required for supermarkets.
6 The
hours sought are Monday to Sunday, 7.00 am to 10.00 pm. These are the
same as the current licence, although the premises usual trading time is 7.30
am to 9.00 pm.
PUBLIC NOTICE
7 The
application was publicly notified in the Otago Daily Times on 13 and 20 October
2021. No objections were received from the community.
Opposition
8 Neither
the Police nor Medical Officer of Health opposed the application.
However, the Licensing Inspector has concerns and therefore opposed the grant
of the licence.
9 When
the premises was visited by the reporting agencies during the licensing process
the Inspector noted there were several 500 ml imported, high percentage alcohol
beers on display for sale. They included beers with 12% alcohol by volume
and were being sold as individual 500 ml cans.
10 The
Inspector believes it is inappropriate for supermarkets to sell these types of
products, especially in the North Dunedin area which is an area of high-risk
with respect to alcohol related harm.
comment
11 The
applicant was sent a copy of the opposition report. They advised that
after reviewing the sales of these products most have been, or will be,
removed. Those that are part of the New World Group range must be stocked
as part of the franchise agreement.
CONCLUSION
12 The
Committee has asked for the matter to be heard so they may gain an
understanding of the product the Inspector’s concerns and to get a
commitment from the applicant that where possible, such products will not be
made available in the future.
