The impacts of liquor outlets in Manukau City. Report no. 3: The spatial and other caracteristics of liquor outlets in Manukau City

This report was published by the Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC). ALAC merged with the Health Sponsorship Council to become the Health Promotion Agency in 2012. HPA became part of Health New Zealand in 2022. This report describes the spatial and other characteristics of liquor outlets in the Manukau City area in January 2009. These characteristics are important in terms of their effects on the availability of alcohol. Several key results were found relating to the characteristics of alcohol sales. First, on licence outlets are most dense in areas with good transport links, such as town centres, and in areas with high amenity value. Second, off-licence outlet density is positively related to population density and to relative deprivation.
