ACT Leader David Seymour is questioning why the the retail sector will still face such heavy restrictions under Alert Level 3.
The government has outlined what businesses and the public can expect under the lower level, ahead of a decision being made on Monday whether to lift the Alert Level 4 lockdown.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says under level three public facing bars, restaurants, cafes, malls and retail stores will remain closed.
Food delivery, drive-through, online shopping and click and collect can begin.
David Seymour told political reporter Charlie Dreaver the announcement to broaden from just essential businesses is encouraging, with the exception of retail.
