Stakeholder Reference Groups

The review will begin by identifying areas where the current regulatory framework does not meet the Government’s policy goals for alcohol advertising and conduct consultation with stakeholders to identify problems and potential solutions. While public health and well-being will be central concerns of the review, a balanced and fair approach will be adopted to consider all valid concerns and suggestions.

To assist with this, the Steering Group will establish stakeholder reference groups. This process will ensure that there is effective consultation with community (individuals and groups representing Mäori, Pacific peoples, consumers, parents, youth, sports clubs and others); industry (media and advertising, liquor, hospitality, retailers); public health non-government organisations and researchers; and officials from relevant government departments and agencies.
