Upper Hutt set to update rules around brothels
A “harmful” bylaw that restricts the activities of sex workers is up for review more than a decade after concerns were raised over its legality.
In 2009, Upper Hutt City Council officers reported that the council's Brothels Bylaw was probably unlawful as it effectively stopped sex workers from operating in the city. Prostitution was decriminalised in 2003.
The council is considering a recommendation to revoke the bylaw and instead manage brothels through its District Plan, allowing them to operate under the same requirements as other businesses in the same area.
The bylaw has come under criticism from Prostitutes' Collective national co-ordinator Dame Catherine Healy, who said it most likely forced the city’s sex workers to trade illegally.
