Review of the Regulation of Alcohol Advertising: Information for Stakeholders

Note: Consultation period closed on 31 October 2006.

The Steering Group for the review of regulation of alcohol advertising is seeking the views of a range of New Zealanders on the regulation of alcohol advertising.

The Steering Group, made up of Government agency representatives and individuals with relevant expertise, was set up earlier this year to see whether the existing regulatory framework for alcohol advertising fits with the Government's alcohol policy. Currently there is voluntary, industry self-regulation of alcohol advertising in New Zealand. The Steering Group has adopted a wide definition of advertising and will take a broad look at advertising in New Zealand, including issues such as alcohol sponsorship, promotions and newer marketing techniques.

The “Review of the Regulation of Alcohol Advertising: Information for stakeholders” consultation document provides information on the Review and asks stakeholders a series of questions. A youth-friendly version of the document has also been developed to help young people make submissions on the review. This is supported by a one-page information sheet that helps people that work with youth support young people making submissions.

The closing date for submissions is Tuesday 31 October 2006. Due to the tight timeframe of the review, this deadline is not flexible. Details about “how to have your say” are on page iii of the consultation document.
