Residents oppose Super Liquor's Lake Hāwea store over alcohol harm, proximity to children, and violation of New Zealand’s 2012 Alcohol Act.
Residents of Lake Hāwea are opposing a proposed Super Liquor store, citing concerns over alcohol-related harm, proximity to a school bus stop and playground, and the cumulative impact of existing outlets, with over 500 objections submitted.
They argue the location contradicts New Zealand’s 2012 Alcohol Act, which aims to minimize harm, and point to research linking higher outlet density to increased youth access and family violence.
Critics challenge the franchise’s claim of being “local,” noting shareholders are up to 60 km away.
The District Licensing Committee will hear the case in Wānaka from November 12 to 14, 2025.
