EOI - District Licensing Commissioner

Expressions of Interest - District Licensing Committee Commissioner

Expressions of interest are now open for a District Licensing Committee Commissioner.

The purpose of this position is to chair the Wairoa District Council District Licensing Committee (DLC) that will consider and determine applications made under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

More particularly, the functions of the DLC are to:

• consider and determine licence applications, renewals, variations, suspensions and cancellations
• consider and determine new applications for and renewals of manager’s certificates
• conduct inquiries and make reports to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA)

The Wairoa District Council has an appointed Commissioner to chair the DLC. The Council will maintain a list of DLC members from which members will be appointed to sit in accordance with terms of reference agreed by the Council.

The quorum necessary at a DLC meeting is three members, except for unopposed applications (for temporary authority, licences, managers’ certificates, or renewals of these), where one member, who must be the commissioner, is required for quorum. When the commissioner considers the unopposed applications (on the papers) on his/her own, this is a meeting of the DLC. 

The commissioner will be responsible for issuing written decisions for any matters heard by the DLC.

In its decision making, the DLC will have regard and, where applicable, give effect to the Wairoa District Council Local Alcohol Policy.
