Easter Sunday Trading Policy

This consultation is now closed. Submissions were open from 9th May 2022.

We are seeking public feedback on a proposed new Easter Sunday Shop Trading Policy. Currently, the council has a policy which allows shops in the Far North to open on Easter Sunday. This policy will expire in February 2024 so we need to make a new one. We propose that the new policy continues to allow Easter Sunday trading across the district.

Paihia is excluded from this policy as it has an exemption under the Shop Trading Hours Act 1990 which means shops in Paihia can open regardless of the council's policy.
