A survey of off-licence premises in the North Shore City Council (NSCC) region and Hibiscus Coast (within Rodney District Council [RDC] boundaries) took place in 2009/2010. The survey attempted to include all off-licence premises in the area with the exclusion of supermarkets.
The aim of the survey was to provide data to inform pending Local Alcohol Policies that will be developed within the new Auckland Council. A secondary aim was to provide RDC and NSCC and their stakeholders (including New Zealand Police, the Hospitality Association of New Zealand, District Licensing Agencies [DLAs] and Auckland region social service providers) with details of the findings and provide information about any other specific areas of interest covered within the survey content.
