A proposed liquor store in Manurewa was denied due to 49 objections over safety and youth exposure concerns.
The Auckland District Licensing Committee has denied a liquor licence application for a proposed store at 70 Russell Rd in Manurewa, citing 49 objections from residents, police, and health officials.
The site, in a high-deprivation area with five existing alcohol outlets nearby and within a Neighbourhood Centre Zone, faced opposition over concerns about youth exposure and public safety.
Residents reported improved safety since the previous store closed.
Despite the applicant’s experience and community ties, the committee found he failed to consult locals and did not meet suitability criteria under Auckland’s Local Alcohol Policy.
The decision prioritizes public health and community wellbeing over commercial interests.
