Permanent alcohol bans
Alcohol is banned in some public places in Auckland, like parks and streets, at certain times.
During the hours of a ban you cannot drink, possess or bring alcohol into those public places. These rules also apply if you are in a vehicle.
Some bans are in place 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other bans are in place only at night-time or during daylight savings.
The bans aim to reduce crime and disorder in public places.
Temporary alcohol bans
Temporary alcohol bans are sometimes put in place for major events to ensure the event is a safe place for everyone to enjoy.
Temporary alcohol bans are publicised before the event and there will be signs at the event itself.
Recurring temporary event alcohol bans
Recurring temporary event alcohol bans automatically apply for all major events at:
- Auckland Domain
- Eden Park
- Mount Smart Stadium
- Western Springs Stadium and Outer Fields.
These bans include fan trails. Fan trails are an official route for event attendees to walk to an event venue.
