Phillipstown residents and the city council will go into battle on April 16 against Riccarton Liquorland, which wants to open a new bottle store in the shops at the intersection of Ferry and Aldwins Rds. There is already a liquor store less than 50m away and 14 within 2km. The district licensing committee declined the application in May. It said another store could lead to an increase in alcohol-related harm in a “very vulnerable” community. Riccarton Liquor Ltd is appealing the decision on grounds the licensing committee was biased and had predetermined its position before the hearing. The city council applied to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority to have the claims struck out, saying there was no bias or predetermination. However, the authority said a strike out would be “premature.” •Turn to page 6 Happy New Ears! Up to $2019 off hearing aids. Plus FREE batteries for the life of the device.
