Hospitality New Zealand (Hospitality NZ) is pleased that the Justice Select Committee has recommended Hon Kieran McAnulty’s member’s bill proposing to remove trading restrictions over Easter weekend, Christmas and ANZAC Day be passed.
Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Sales on Anzac Day Morning, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas Day) Amendment Bill looks to clarify trading and service restrictions across the four restricted trading days in the calendar year.
Hospitality NZ Head of Communications and Advocacy Sam MacKinnon says, “We’ve long said the restricted trading day rules as they stand are not fit for purpose. These trading restrictions, particularly across Easter weekend, are a bone of contention for operators and customers alike.
“We’re pleased to see the Justice Select Committee agrees, and has recommended the Bill passes.
“We look forward to seeing the Bill progress through Parliament and hope Members of Parliament will support hospitality by updating and improving this dated piece of legislation.”
