During November/December 2021 we began research to help inform if a local alcohol policy should be created for the Kāpiti District. Local alcohol policies can allow councils to set different rules for different locations or places that sell alcohol. The survey closed on 10 December 2021.
We are now reviewing feedback and will use the survey results to inform next steps.
We are researching if a local alcohol policy should be created for the Kāpiti District. This survey will help us determine and help us understand the community’s preferences. A local alcohol policy can allow councils to set different rules for different locations or places that sell alcohol.
A local alcohol policy can:
limit alcohol being sold near facilities like schools or playgrounds
limit how many premises can sell alcohol in a particular area
adjust the hours that alcohol can be sold
impose ‘one-way door’ restrictions, so patrons can’t enter a premise after a particular time
set conditions that must be considered when issuing an alcohol licence.
Background
The consumption of alcoholic beverages is common in New Zealand (4 out of 5 adults consume alcohol) and most of us drink responsibly and in moderation. But if people misuse alcohol it can have an impact on them personally (e.g., accidents, liver damage, relationship breakdowns) and the wider community (e.g., antisocial behaviour, violence, motor vehicle accidents).
The Government has ensured that alcohol sales are closely regulated and monitored under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, and anyone who wants to sell or supply alcohol to the public must have a current alcohol licence. The 2012 Act allows councils to create a local alcohol policy to adjust the alcohol licensing rules in their geographical area to reflect the needs and preferences of the community.

Your responses will be anonymous. The survey will take around 10–15 minutes.
There are three parts to this survey
Section 1 asks: where you live, and options questions on your age, gender and ethnicity, your drinking preferences, and views on alcohol sale and supply.
Section 2 asks: your views on alcohol licence settings (for example, locations and hours).
Section 3 provides: a space for any further comments you want to include.
The meanings of the key terms used in the survey are explained in the glossary.
Your views are important – whether you drink, whether you support or oppose a policy setting, or whether you have a particular concern.
