The Buller District Council's liquor control bylaw came into effect in November 2005.
It was designed as a town safety initiative to assist in reducing alcohol related crime, particularly vandalism and destruction of property.
An alcohol ban prohibits the possession or consumption of liquor, either for specific days, hours or at certain locations. A liquor ban is just one tool available to assist police and the community in dealing with alcohol related crime and disorder.
The Buller District Council have bans affecting three separate areas within the district. These are total alcohol bans, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Signs are present in these areas. For further information on these locations, download the pdfs below.
