Loch Laird temporary alcohol ban floated

A temporary liquor ban is being considered to combat ongoing problems at Loch Laird at Labour Weekend. The ban is one of several ideas being proposed by the Waitaki District Council following nearly two decades of alcohol-fuelled “undesirable and unsafe” behaviour from young people at the Otematata camp site. Other ideas include increasing the police presence and encouraging parents to take more responsibility. Nearly 250 young people attend the “unofficial” event each year, many allegedly dropped off with alcohol from parents. They leave behind broken glass, have damaged toilet blocks, and some have attempted to drink-drive. Last year, St John was called on the first day to deal with stupidity

Loch Laird issues in spotlight

Fed up . . . Ahuriri ward councillor Ross McRobie says the Labour Weekend problems at Loch Laird are not fair on the Otematata community. PHOTO: KAYLA HODGE Young people spending Labour Weekend at Loch Laird have always caused problems for the Otematata community, and now the district’s leaders have banded together to do something about it. Workshops involving Ahuriri Community Board members, councillors, local police officers and Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher started earlier this year to identify ways to reduce the issues. Suggestions have included banning glass, installing lights, increasing security, bringing in food vendors and introducing tighter restrictions on alcohol.

Why Waitaki wants its name on the tourism map

As well as making it awkward for residents to figure out which rugby team to support, this also makes it difficult to promote as a tourist destination, with the district’s treasures often being filed under “South Canterbury”, “North Otago” or “Central Otago” – or worse, being mistaken for another district. “Recently there was an article printed in Australia which had [Ōmārama’s] Clay Cliffs and Hot Tubs as part of Mackenzie, which is not right,” Munro says. Brook Sabin/Stuff The famous hot tubs at Ōmārama. “When visitors come, they’ll look them up in ‘Mackenzie’ and won’t be able to find them there – because they’re not part of that district. It’s misleading information to the people that have got a genuine interest in finding out more.”
