Beach Haven Liquor Application Meeting
It was good of SuperLiquor to hold a public meeting tonight on their application for a new liquor shop in Beach Haven. However it was very clear that the room did not support their proposal or any new liquor shops in the area.
This application has received 302 objections, which is very high compared to most applications. The Police, Medical Officer of Health, Kaipātiki Local Board and Shanan Halbert MP have also objected to it.
Unless the application is withdrawn due to the strong opposition to it, there will be a hearing next year, and it will be important for as many objectors to attend as possible.

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
