Appearance Industries Bylaw Review
Hutt City Council is reviewing the Appearance Industries Bylaw 2020 and the Code of Practice (the Bylaw and Code) to make sure they still work well, protect public health, and meet industry needs. Your input is essential to help us get it right.
What is the Appearance Industries Bylaw and Code of Practice?
The Bylaw sets the rules for local businesses in appearance industries, such as beauty, tattooing and piercing, including licensing and hygiene requirements. It helps keep everyone safe and ensures your business can continue to operate.
The Code of Practice offers extra guidance, such as how to safely perform certain procedures.
Why is this important?
The Bylaw and Code have been in place for five years and is now due to be reviewed.
We need input from people working in the industry, and customers so the Bylaw and Code works for business while keeping everyone healthy. It's important for us to get it right.
