RMA and building compliance

To operate a licensed premises you must comply with the Resource Management Act (RMA) and the Building Code and have an alcohol 100f certificate from council.

All new alcohol licence applications must be accompanied by an alcohol 100f certificate.

There are alcohol 100f certificates for on-licences, off-licences and club licences. These are issued once it’s demonstrated that the sale or supply of alcohol fully complies with the Tauranga City Plan requirements and the Building Code.

Your premises may already comply with RMA and the Tauranga City Plan requirements if it holds a certificate of compliance, a resource consent or an existing use certificate issued by council, and there are no changes proposed which would affect these permits.
