Justice Minister Kiri Allan is giving communities more say in how the sale of alcohol is regulated in their neighbourhood.

Director of Hoff Hospitality Group, Matt McLaughlin, says that this will disproportionately impact small family run businesses, and that regulating alcohol sales will require more government action than just one law change.
