Alcohol Control Bylaw

This bylaw's purpose is to reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder by prohibiting the possession and consumption of alcohol in certain public places. 

Alcohol bans are in place in central Whangārei and in other neighbourhood centres, as well as at most popular beaches in the District.
