Upper Hutt taking a look at brothel rules

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Upper Hutt is reviewing the rules around brothels.
The aim of the council review is to:
* Regulate the establishment and operation of brothels and their associated signage, in order to minimise community harm or offence, while not endorsing or morally sanctioning prostitution or its use.
* Allow the operation of responsible and legitimate brothels which support the key purpose of the Prostitution Reform Act 2003 (PRA) which is to promote the rights, safety and well-being of sex workers and their clients.
