Global Recognition For Dominion Road Nightlife
The Dominion Road Business Association has earned a Purple Flag accreditation, the international endorsement for a safe evening experience.
The accolade has been won under the umbrella of the association with the project funded by Albert-Eden Local Board.
Purple Flag was launched in the United Kingdom in 2009 by the Association of Town and City Management as a robust accreditation with annual assessments.
Today more than 100 destinations across Europe and the United Kingdom share the status.
But the Dominion Rd precinct is the first destination in the southern hemisphere to achieve Purple Flag status.
The accreditation process started in October 2019 and was finished in February 2021.
Dominion Road Business Association Manager Gary Holmes said having Purple Flag accreditation will further help Dominion Road achieve its vision of being a "world within a street".

Mana (Authority, Power, and Prestige) - Day 15
Māui and the Sacred Fire
Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.
Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
