District Licensing Committee (DLC)

Invitation to apply for membership – Horowhenua District Licensing Committee

Horowhenua District Council invites applications from interested members of our community to become list members of the Horowhenua District Licensing Committee (DLC).

The DLC considers and determines applications for licences and managers’ certificates, temporary authorities and special licences made under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

While a committee of Council, a DLC operates with the powers of a commission of inquiry, and functions under the regulatory framework as a semi-judicial board of inquiry, making decisions that can be appealed. 

DLC list member appointments are for up to five years, with the current term expiring in December.  Horowhenua District Council also invites current list members wanting to retain their appointment to re-apply.

Application forms:
