Poll: Do you support temporary alcohol bans at Auckland's major events?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

More venues around Auckland will be subject to temporary alcohol bans at major events under proposed changes to Auckland Council's alcohol control bylaws.

Recurring temporary booze bans are in place for all major events at Eden Park, concerts at Mount Smart Stadium, Christmas in the Park and the Lantern Festival in Auckland.

The council's governing body has voted to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 to put a stop to alcohol for all major events at Mount Smart Stadium, Western Springs stadium and outer fields, Auckland Domain, Auckland Zoo's carpark, Te Papapa train station and any future fan trails to events where booze is forbidden.

Councillor Josephine Bartley said the proposed changes were about protecting our communities.

"Improving temporary major event alcohol bans will stop people drinking alcohol irresponsibly on their way to, at or after a major event and help prevent the associated disorder that occurs as a result.

"People should be able to attend these wonderful events that bring vibrancy to our city without having to worry about encountering anti-social behaviour caused by groups of people binge drinking."

Bartley said the improvements helped make it safer for people to travel to events on public transport and would prevent the problem from being shifted elsewhere.

Nearly 900 people gave their feedback on the proposed changes, which come into effect on June 1.
