Over the past few days, the Dunedin City Council and Dunedin Police have received a number of calls regarding an event planned at a View St address which has caused some concern amongst nearby residents.

As a result of these concerns, DCC and Police staff have spoken with the occupants regarding their host responsibilities as the event may fall under the provisions of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2013.

The DCC and Police would like to reassure these residents that if the event does go ahead, both organisations will be monitoring the situation and will take appropriate action in regards to any incident that may arise.

The DCC and Dunedin Police would like to remind all Dunedin residents about their responsibilities when it comes to hosting large events and urge them to be familiar with these before planning an event.

Staff from both the DCC and Police are more than happy to discuss these responsibilities with any resident who may be planning to host a similar event in the future.
