Alcohol Fees Bylaw 2024

This consultation closed on 14 April 2024

Thank you to those who made a submission on the Alcohol Fees Bylaw.

On 27 June 2024, Council adopted the bylaw with it effective from 1 October 2024.

You can find more information about the bylaw on our website here - https://poriruacity.govt.nz/services/permits-and-licences/alcohol-licensing/alcohol-licensing-porirua/

In Porirua City Council’s annual review of alcohol licensing fees and costs, it was found that rates are covering 80% of the alcohol licensing cost in Porirua, with the alcohol industry paying 20% of the licensing costs.

Porirua City is exploring options to remove some or all of the costs of alcohol licensing from Porirua City’s rates.

Purpose of this proposal

• Outlines the costs of alcohol licensing in Porirua City and the income received from licensing.

• Identifies how we could increase our current alcohol licensing application fees and annual fees to recover costs.

• Identifies certain standalone fees that could be applied to recover costs.

• Establishes a regular period to review the Bylaw to ensure effectiveness over time.
