Rangitikei District Council strapline

Easter Sunday Shop Trading Policy

October 11, 2016

Easter Eggs 600X396

Note: This Public Notice is out of date, and is retained for archival purposes only.

Currently, shops selling certain types of goods (for example, dairies, service stations, pharmacies, take away food sellers, restaurants, cafes, souvenir stores and garden centres) are allowed to remain open on the restricted trading days including Easter Sunday.

Rangitikei District Council is now able to create a local policy to allow wider shop trading across the district or in designated areas on Easter Sunday. The local policy cannot place conditions around shop trading (for example types of shops, times of opening etc.).

Council is seeking feedback on whether or not the community and shop owners want all retail businesses to have the option to trade on Easter Sunday.
