Members
The District Licensing Committee is made up of a Chairperson and two appointed community members.
- Chair – Bruce Fraser
- Deputy Chair – Deputy Mayor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens
- Members – Councillor Trudie Brand, Laurie Gabites, and Derek Shaw.
For most licence applications, if there are no objections from the public or opposition from the reporting authorities (Police, the Medical Officer of Health, and the Council's Licensing Inspector), applications can be granted by the chairperson without the need for a public hearing.
The public can object to an application for an alcohol licence if they have an interest greater than the public in general.
When dealing with applications in which there are objections or opposition, the District Licensing Committee must sit with a quorum of three. These will generally be public hearings.
