flag A New Zealand pub lost its liquor licenses over ongoing noise complaints, despite upgrades, prompting an appeal.

flag A gastropub in Stanmore Bay, north of Auckland, has been denied renewal of its on- and off-licences by the District Licensing Committee due to unresolved noise complaints from neighbors. flag Residents cited years of disruptive music and events, leading to sleep loss and stress, with one couple spending $8,000 on soundproofing. flag Despite the pub’s implementation of a Noise Management Plan, curfews, and soundproofing upgrades, the DLC found insufficient evidence of compliance, citing repeated noise violations, enforcement notices, and failure to control amplification. flag The decision, effective December 20, prompted the owner to announce an appeal, calling it unfair.
