Our responsibilities as District Licensing Authority

As District Licensing Authority, we have a role to play in the reduction of liquor abuse through our responsibilities and obligations under the Sale of Liquor Act.

We believe that the key to achieving the aims of the Act is the promotion of responsible attitudes and a mature approach to liquor consumption, to both licensees and the public.

Dunedin Alcohol Partnership

We carry out our role in conjunction with the Dunedin Police and Public Health South. This is a formal arrangement with the three authorities jointly referred to as the Dunedin Alcohol Partnership.

While the Liquor Licensing Authority has overall responsibility for liquor licensing, these three regulatory agencies are responsible for the day to day monitoring and management of liquor issues in the Dunedin area and therefore work closely together and with the industry and other relevant groups
