Waitakere Licensing Trust operates industry leading retail liquor stores and hospitality venues in the “Waitakere” area of West Auckland. Waitakere Licensing Trust is 100% community owned, which means profits from liquor are given back to the community rather than going into an owners back pocket.
Below you’ll find where the “Waitakere” area covers, who the current elected members are and information on their monthly public meetings.
Waitakere Licensing Trust covers the following areas of West Auckland: Whenuapai, Hobsonville, West Harbour, Waitakere Township, Massey, Red Hills, Henderson, Ranui, Swanson, Taupaki, Te Atatu Peninsula, Te Atatu Sth, Sunnyvale, Oratia, Waiatarua, Karekare, Piha, Bethells Beach.
If your West Auckland suburb is not listed above, you might live in the area covered by the Portage Licensing Trust.
Every three years, as part of the local body elections, the West Auckland community votes for members of the community to represent their views on the licensing trust of the area they live in. The members elected to each Trust are the community’s voice and an essential link between the community ownership of The Trusts and the management of the commercial businesses of The Trusts.
The last election for elected members to Waitakere Licensing Trust took place on Saturday the 12th of October 2019. You can view the results of this election here. Below are the current elected members for Waitakere Licensing Trust. You can view the Waitakere Licensing Trust Code of Conduct here and Standing Orders here.
Every month elected members of the Waitakere Licensing Trust meet at Quality Hotel Lincoln Green, 159 Lincoln Road, Henderson to discuss the Trust’s activities. The meeting has two sessions. Members of the public are welcome to attend the first session of each meeting and ask questions or provide feedback to their elected members and The Trusts senior leadership team. We cover a wide range of topics in these open forums. The second session is a closed meeting for the elected members.
