Christchurch City Council is changing the way alcohol license applications are publicly notified to make it easy for people to get involved in the process.

Drinks lined up on a bar.

Alcohol license applications will now be published on a dedicated webpage.

Instead of advertising alcohol license applications in the public notice section of local newspapers, it will publish information on the applications on a dedicated webpage.

By advertising on the same webpage each time, people will know where to go to look for licence application notice and details about public objection timelines.

Public notifications will still be for 15 working days, but you will be able to view on the webpage recent notices beyond that time. 

This is consistent with the requirements of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

You can still view application documents in person at Council offices.
