New times for when alcohol can be sold and a ban on public alcohol consumption in urban Te Puke are among changes to alcohol rules and regulations for the Western Bay.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council's newly updated Alcohol Control Bylaw will go hand in hand with the recently adopted Local Alcohol Policy.
The biggest changes will affect Te Puke township and the wider Te Puke-Maketū ward.
No new licences will be issued for bottle stores across the Te Puke-Maketū ward, except where an existing store changes hands or moves to new premises close by.
