EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 This
is a report for an application for a new off-licence for the premises situated
at 2 Mellor Street, Dunedin, and known as “Cableways
Liquorland”. 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 application after the Applicant bought the premises from the previous
owner. The hours sought are the slightly different to the temporary
authority on which they have been operating.
3 Public
notice of the application did not attract public objections.
4 Neither
the Medical Officer of Health nor Licensing Inspector opposed the application.
5 The
Police have opposed the issue of the licence. They are seeking the
imposition of two additional conditions on the licence: no single unit sales of
beer, cider or RTDs at or less than $6.00 per unit, and no external advertising
or promotion of alcohol.
APPLICANT AND APPLICATION
6 The
Applicant has taken over the business and is currently operating pursuant to a
temporary authority based on the previous licence. They are seeking the
following hours:
Sunday to Tuesday 10.00
am to 9.00 pm
Wednesday and Thursday 10.00
am to 10.00 pm
Friday and Saturday 9.00
am to 10.00 pm
7 The
Applicant has other licensed premises outside Dunedin. However, the sole
director and shareholder owns the licensee company of “The Rope &
Twine” in South Dunedin.
PUBLIC NOTICE
8 Public
notice of the application did not attract any public objection.
9 Neither
the Medical Officer of Health nor Licensing Inspector opposed the
application.
10 However,
the Police have opposed the grant of the licence. Their grounds are:
a) S.105(1)(a)
– Object of the Act: The sale of single serve, high strength alcohol at a
cheap price and the external advertising and promotion of alcohol does not
align with the object of the Act.
b) S.105(1)(b)
– Suitability: The sale of single serve, high strength alcohol at a cheap
price and the external advertising and promotion of alcohol adversely affects
the suitability of the Applicant.
c) S.105(1)(h)
– Amenity and good order: Police are frequently called to the area within
an 800m radius of the premises for incidents including violence and traffic
offending.
d) S.105(1)(i)
– Amenity and good order already badly affected: no further commentary
supplied.
11 To mitigate
the issues, the Police seek the inclusion of two addition conditions on the
licence:
a) No single
sale of beer, cider or RTDs priced at, or less than, $6.00 per unit.
b) No alcohol
advertising or promotion on the exterior of the premises.
CONCLUSION AND CONDITIONS
12 The
Applicant is new to Dunedin but has premises outside of Dunedin. No
adverse comments about the operation of his other premises have been received.
13 The
Police are seeking the inclusion of two conditions to mitigate their concerns.
14 The
hearing is an opportunity for the parties to present their points of view.
