Topic: Late licences for Rugby World Cup games
Enquiry
I am just following up on this story by the Herald which talks of the bill for bars and clubs to stay open for Rugby World Cup games. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12260571
Has RLC had any applications from licenced premises to stay open longer?
How many have been accepted and declined?
Or will there be a blanket rule which will allow these places to stay open?
Response
We have not received any applications from licenced premises to extend their hours and we are yet to receive any details around this bill.

Topic: Hemo sculpture
Enquiry
I'm dropping you a line as I'm about to start a feature story on the Hemo Gorge sculpture, and to that end wanted to ask two initial questions.
Would Steve be willing to have a sit down with me at some point to discuss it? Secondly, would she be willing to have some photos taken at the actual Hemo Gorge site where the sculpture is located?
Response
The Mayor would be happy to sit down with you once the sculpture has been completed and installed.
Currently there is no new information from Council to add. Our last update is available here.
