City centre

The city centre covers the area between State Highways 1 and 16.

Priority overlay

The Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) identifies a 'priority overlay' of 23 suburbs across the region - where special restrictions take precedence over existing regulations.

These areas have priority status as they have:

• high levels of alcohol related crime
• high numbers of populations that experience disproportionate harm from alcohol
• high numbers of existing alcohol licences.

There are additional rules for these areas to manage the number and density of alcohol outlets and to reduce alcohol-related harm in the local communities.

The priority overlay areas are:

• Avondale
• Clendon
• Glen Eden
• Glen Innes
• Helensville and Parakai
• Henderson
• Hunters Corner
• Māngere
• Māngere East
• Manukau
• Manurewa
• Mt Wellington
• Oranga
• Ōtāhuhu
• Ōtara
• Panmure
• Papakura
• Papatoetoe
• Point England
• Pukekohe
• Takanini
• Wellsford and Te Hana
• Wiri.
