⚖️ Legal Regulations

Public holidays in New Zealand are governed by the Holidays Act 2003. Since 2014, Waitangi Day and Anzac Day are 'Mondayised', meaning if they fall on a weekend, the following Monday becomes a public holiday. Shop trading is restricted on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, and until 1pm on Anzac Day.

💡 Insights

New Zealand has unique regional anniversary days, celebrated only in specific provinces. Many holidays are observed on Mondays to create long weekends, a practice known as 'Mondayisation'. Easter Tuesday is a common day off for the education sector, though not a nationwide public holiday.
