Bid for fine wine store in Redcliffs
• By Louis Day
REDCLIFFS MAY get a fine
wine and spirits store on Main
Rd.
The company behind the bid is
national chain Thirsty Liquor.
Thirsty Liquor wants to set-up
the store in the
Bloom Room
Florist building.
But the new
outlet will not
have the Thirsty
Liquor branding
and will be
called “Redcliffs
Darrell Fine Wine and
Latham Spirits.”
The application will be heard
by the District Licensing Committee
where the licensing inspector,
police, medical officers
of health and objectors will have
the opportunity to present their
case.
The store has applied to open
seven days a week from 9am
to 10pm. Public submissions
regarding the application close
on February 21.
Redcliffs Residents’ Association
secretary Pat McIntosh said
they would not be lodging an
objection.
“We have had a fair amount

of feedback from people, many
were supportive of it and some
were concerned but as an association,
we did not think we
should take a stand collectively,”
she said.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham said the board
would happily support any
residents who objected to the
liquor outlet.
“It is critically important that
members of the Redcliffs community
take the opportunity to
have their voices heard on the
application for a new Thirsty
Liquor bottle store,” he said.
Store owner Jugraj Singh
was confident the store would
not have a negative impact on
the community.
“Thirsty Liquor is a franchise.
Some of the stores are bad and
some of them are very good,
that is down to the owner,” he
said.
Mr Singh said the store would
offer a selection of wines, spirits,
craft beer as well as a range of
delicatessen and that only 10 per
cent of alcohol sold would be
RTDs.

Installing fire
protection
system forces
tunnel closure
Fire rages, homes at risk
LYTTELTON TUNNEL will
be closed on three consecutive
nights in late February in order
to install a multi-million dollar
fire protection system.
The closures are required in
order to install and carry out
testing of a new $29 million fire
protection system in the tunnel.
The NZ Transport Agency
has planned to close the tunnel
between 11pm and 4am on February
24, 25 and 26.
The tunnel will open to traffic
for 10min on the hour each of
these nights. Outside of these
times, only emergency vehicle
access will be available.
NZTA senior project manager
Chris Collins said work on the
project will be completed in
April.
“Installing the new fire protection
system often involves
working in confined spaces.
Single and full tunnel traffic lane
closures are critical to successfully
completing this important
project. To minimise their
impact, they are timed for late at
night and in the early hours of
the morning when tunnel traffic
is at its lightest,” he said.
