Background

Local councils can now create local policies to allow shop trading either across their entire district or in limited areas on Easter Sunday.

Tararua District Council has conducted a pre-consultation survey to establish whether the community wants to see a change to the current situation (no trading allowed).

If the survey results show that the community want to see a change, Council will then develop a policy for formal consultation with the community.
