EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 This is a report for an application for a new on-licence for the premises situated at 20 Logan Park Drive, Dunedin, and to be known as “Bookies Bar”. The criteria found at section 105 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (the Act) apply to this application.

2 This is a new licence resulting from the University of Otago Rugby Incorporated seeking an on-licence so they can better manage the number of functions being sought at the premises.

3 The application did not attract any public opposition there have been non adverse reports from the reporting agencies. The Licensing Inspector does not oppose this application.

APPLICANT AND APPLICATION

4 The Applicant is a newly created trading arm of the University of Otago Rugby Incorporated that has been set up to run an on-licence at their premises. The reason for the application is that they are receiving a lot of inquiries for functions at the premises, and this is necessitating them applying for special licences. Some requests are at short notice.

5 The Applicant does not anticipate the premises being open like a ‘normal’ tavern but more when there is a function or large event in town. They will also continue to operate for the club as they do now.

6 The Applicant advises there will be no loyalty scheme operating at the premises.

PUBLIC NOTICE

7 The application was publicly notified, and no opposition has been raised.

8 The reporting agencies, Police, Medical Officer of Health and Licensing Inspector have not raised any matter of concern.

9 The Committee, however, has asked for the matter to be brought before them because they want reassurances from the Applicant about the nature of the premises and how they will be managed.

CONCLUSIon

10 The Committee has asked for the matter to be heard because, while the application is thorough, they want to satisfy themselves that they have the ability to control what may be seen as a new attraction in the North Dunedin area.

11 The premises has the potential to become a popular place to drink and therefore the management will need to be prepared for this.

12 This hearing will be an opportunity for the Applicant to explain what they propose and how the premises will be managed as an on-licence.
