2 Apologies and Declarations of Interest
Members need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Community Board and any private or other external interest they might have. This note is provided as a reminder to Members to review the matters on the agenda and assess and identify where they may have a pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be a perception of a conflict of interest.
If a Member feels they do have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of the meeting or of the relevant item of business and refrain from participating in the discussion or voting on that item. If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest, they can seek advice from the Chief Executive Officer or the Team Leader Governance Support (preferably before the meeting).
It is noted that while members can seek advice the final decision as to whether a conflict exists rests with the member.
No requests for deputations were received at the time of the Agenda going to print.

1) Background
Council adopted a new proposed Dog Management Policy and Bylaw 2018 for public consultation on 28 June 2018. A special consultative procedure took place from 30 July to 24 September 2018 throughout the District to ensure that residents of the Far North district were informed and given the opportunity to provide written and/or verbal feedback. Council received 1285 submissions. The last day of hearings was completed on 30 October 2018 in Kerikeri.
On 15 November 2018 the Council commenced the decision-making process. Administration provided recommendations on seven deliberations topics. The Council requested further information be provided to further consider submissions and Administration’s recommendations.
2) Discussion and Options
Considerations to support decision-making on each deliberation topic
The Dog Control Act 1996 requires Council to adopt a policy on dogs and make any necessary bylaws to give effect to the policy. This means that while the Act requires dogs to be under control, a policy and bylaw is required to determine when and where dogs are prohibited, must be on a leash or can exercise at large.
In adopting a policy, Council must have regard to:
a) the need to minimise danger, distress, and nuisance to the community generally; and
b) the need to avoid the inherent danger in allowing dogs to have uncontrolled access to public places that are frequented by children, whether or not the children are accompanied by adults; and
c) the importance of enabling, to the extent that is practicable, the public (including families) to use streets and public amenities without fear of attack or intimidation by dogs; and
d) the exercise and recreational needs of dogs and their owners.
The same set of key considerations that informed the development of the Proposed Dog Management Policy and Bylaw has been used to assess options for deliberation topics. The set of key considerations are:
· Protect community safety
· Have regard to the exercise and recreational needs of dogs and their owners
· Minimise the risk of injury or distress to stock, poultry, domestic animals and protected wildlife
· A clear and consistent approach for enforcement
· Easy to understand rules.
It is now for the Council to decide on options for the seven deliberations topics, before settling on the final form of the Policy and Bylaw at the 13 December 2018 Council meeting. Administration recommendations remain unchanged from the report that was left to lie on the table at deliberations on 15 November 2018. Further comments from Administration and additional alternative resolutions are provided in this report in response to matters raised in the deliberations discussion to assist with the decisions required of this report.
Administration does not recommend loosening dog access rules from the recommendations of this report. The Dog Control Act requires the policy and bylaw to “avoid the inherent danger in allowing dogs to have uncontrolled access to public places” and to “enable the public to use streets and public amenities without fear of attack or intimidation by dogs” (section 10 of the Dog Control Act).
Administration understands that following adoption of the policy and bylaw, amendments can be made to the policy schedules by way of a Special Consultative Procedure.
Deliberation Topic 1: Off-leash and exercise areas
Off-leash and designated exercise areas were debated at the meeting on 15 November 2018. For clarity ‘off leash areas’ are shared spaces considered suitable for dogs to be exercised off-leash and under control. ‘Designated dog exercise areas’ are public places where the exercise of dogs is prioritised over other uses of the area.

Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
Community Boards to identify additional suitable off-leash / exercise areas. |
Administration supports this approach to identify further designated dog exercise areas beyond what was suggested via submissions. Further off-leash and designated exercise areas can be added to the policy schedule through a Special Consultative Procedure and Council resolution. |
Opua-Paihia coastal walkway should be off-leash. |
Administration does not recommend this approach because the coastal walkway is a popular shared space, close to conservation land, culturally sensitive areas and private property. For this reason, Administration recommends to retain the proposal as on-leash. |
Kerikeri Domain should be off-leash before 9am and after 5pm. |
Administration does not recommend this approach because this is a popular shared space, particularly as a thoroughfare for school children before 9am. This area would not be suitable as an off-leash area, however, it may be suitable to be developed to include a designated dog exercise area. This is subject to the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan process so that interested stakeholders are considered and consulted. Recommendation 2a of this report is to add a new district-wide access rule that requires Council to consider off-leash and/or dog exercise provisions when developing reserve management plans. |
Waipapa Domain should be considered as an off-leash area. |
Administration does not recommend this approach because the Waipapa Domain is used primarily for sporting purposes. Recommendation 1b) of this report is to include Waitotara Reserve as an off-leash area, which is an alternative to Waipapa Domain and is nearby. |
Old landfill at Lindvart Park and Monument Hill in Kaikohe should be considered as off-leash areas. |
Administration recommends amending the proposed policy to identify the old landfill area at Lindvart Park, Kaikohe as an off-leash area. This is subject to the Lindvart Park Reserve Management Plan process so that interested stakeholders are considered and consulted. Administration does not recommend making Monument Hill/Hone Heke Memorial Park, Kaikohe, off-leash as this is a site of cultural significance. Administration recommends consulting with iwi/hapu regarding any change of use for this area. |
Section of playground off Matthews Ave, Kaitaia is currently unsuitable as an off-leash area, but it could be suitable if the children’s playground was fenced off. |
Administration noted that it was unclear if the submitter was referring to Jaycee Park or the park at the end of Davis Street. Both areas have been analysed by Administration and been found to be unsuitable as off-leash because the playground areas are not fenced. Administration supports the approach to fence children’s playgrounds, and if so, both areas may be suitable as off-leash areas for dogs. Administration recommends further investigation by the Community Board.

Deliberation Topic 2: District-wide access to public places (except beaches)
The district-wide rules are often referred to as default rules. The purpose of the proposed district-wide access rules is to ensure the safety of the public and to reduce the risk of dog-related harm, while also providing for the wellbeing and recreational needs of dogs and their owners.
Table 2 below outlines the comments raised by Council members during deliberations on 15 November 2018 and Administration’s assessment of each comment raised
Table 2: Deliberation comments and Administration’s assessment - District-wide access to public places (except beaches)
Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
Prefer off-leash on sportsgrounds unless it’s being used for sporting purposes. |
Administration recommends an on-leash district-wide rule and to identify appropriate sportsgrounds for off-leash dog access through a future work programme. This is to ensure Council meets its obligations under the Dog Control Act. Many sportsgrounds in the district are not owned by FNDC and sporting organisations should be consulted through a Special Consultative Procedure. |
Prefer off-leash on reserves where dogs are the only ones using the space. |
Administration recommends an on-leash district-wide rule and to identify appropriate reserves for off-leash dog access through a future work programme. Many reserves are controlled by the Department of Conservation who determine the relevant dog access rules (see Attachment 2). Recommendation 2a) of this report is to add a new district-wide rule that requires Council to consider off-leash and/or dog exercise when developing reserve management plans. |
Dog access prohibited along sections of Pou Herenga Tai – Twin Coast Cycle Trail where the trail crosses private property. |
Administration recommends that the policy should be amended to prohibit dogs on the cycle trail along two sections between Moerewa to Kaikohe and the entire trail between Okaihau and Horeke. All sections of private property and easements must be prohibited to dogs as many of these sections are working farms. Maps showing these sections are included in Attachment 3. Administration recommends all other sections of the Pou Herenga Tai – Twin Coast Cycle remain as on-leash as required by clause 6.12 of the Pou Herenga Tai – Twin Coast Cycle Trail Bylaw. |
Agree that footpaths should be on leash. |
Administration agrees with the Councillors comments. Footpaths are shared spaces with high density use that warrants dogs being on-leash. |
Off-leash access at Kawakawa Domain |
Administration understands that Kawakawa Domain Recreation Reserve is owned by the Department of Conservation. Department of Conservation dog access rules apply. The Department of Conservation access rule for this area is open access for dogs (Attachment 2). |
Deliberation Topic 3: Dog access on beaches
Community feedback from the consultation showed that views regarding dogs on beaches were polarised with strong views expressed for both on-leash and off-leash access.
To assist with deliberations, Administration has provided further information on the proposed framework applied to individual beaches included in the draft policy and bylaw and through submissions. This can be seen in Attachment 4 to this report which contains a list of beaches that are identified for each part of the framework.
District-wide default rules for beaches – Administration recommends off-leash and under control all year unless specified elsewhere in the policy. This is the “default” of the Dog Control Act 1996. Council can further control and restrict dog access in public spaces through the policy/ bylaw.
Special Character – Cultural Value - These beaches have been identified as having cultural value to iwi and or hapu. Administration recommends that dogs be prohibited from these areas at all times. This rule enables iwi and hapū to manage impacts on Māori customary values and practices, while assisting in the exercise of guardianship / stewardship in accordance with tikanga Māori.
Special Character – High Conservation Value - These beaches have been identified as high conservation value through the Department of Conservation’s 2018 submission. Administration recommends that dogs are prohibited from these areas at all times.
New: Shorebird nesting season 1 October to 31 March - These beaches have been identified as having nesting or breeding sites for protected shorebirds through 2018 public submissions. Administration recommends that dogs remain on-leash within these areas at all times between 1 October and 31 March. However, where the area has also been identified as ‘High Conservation Value’ by Department of Conservation, the prohibited rule would take precedence.
Popular beaches summer day-time, including all public holidays - These beaches have been identified as being popular or busy in the summer period through 2018 public submissions. Administration recommends that dogs remain on-leash within these areas between the summer date and time period defined in deliberation topic 4.
Table 3 below outlines the comments raised by Council members during deliberations on 15 November 2018 and Administration’s assessment of each comment raised.
Table 3: Deliberation comments and Administration’s assessment – Dog access on beaches
Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
Agree with district-wide default rule as off-leash. |
Administration agrees with these comments on the basis that without evidence there is no need to restrict dog access on beaches as the default district wide rule |
Support for prohibited access in beach areas of cultural value |
Administration recommends protecting the characteristics of the coastal environment that have special value to iwi and hapū including kai moana (particularly shell fish), wāhi tapu, tauranga waka, mahinga mātaitai and other taonga (including indigenous wildlife). Protection enables iwi and hapū to manage impacts on Māori customary values and practices whilst assisting in the exercise of guardianship / stewardship in accordance with tikanga Māori. |
Prefer on-leash access in beach areas of high conservation value |
Administration does not agree with this approach because of the vulnerability of threatened bird species like dotterel nesting and breeding areas when dogs are present. Administration recommends retaining the proposal of dogs prohibited at beaches identified as Special Character because of their high conservation value. Where an area has been identified as both ‘High Conservation Value’ and a shore bird nesting site, the proposed Special Character prohibited rule would take precedence. |
The draft Far North District Plan should be considered for protecting areas of cultural value and high conservation value. |
The Draft District Plan 2018 outlines direction for how land use and subdivision may take place in the future. The objectives, policies and rule directions are designed to ensure we are aligned with our statutory responsibilities and consider the views of our communities. Though the Operative District Plan and the Draft District Plan do contain provisions for the protection of indigenous biodiversity and areas of significance to Māori, they do not directly regulate the access of dogs in public spaces. |
Prefer parts rather than the whole of Te Haumi Beach be prohibited to dogs to protect the pipi beds, and to allow access to Sullivans Beach. |
Administration recommends retaining the proposed restriction at Te Haumi to protect the kai moana pipi beds where shellfish is collected by Ngati Manu, because this was requested as part of the 2016 submissions process. Administration understands that Sullivans Beach can be accessed from the grassy area adjacent to Te Haumi Beach, and that part of Sullivans Beach is privately owned where private property rights apply. |
Agree with the recommendation of on-leash during shorebird nesting season because it would be unreasonable to ban dogs during this time. Signage is required for this. |
Administration agrees with this approach because of the vulnerability of threatened bird species like dotterel nesting and breeding areas when dogs are present. Where an area has been identified as both ‘High Conservation Value’ and a shore bird nesting site, the proposed Special Character prohibited rule would take precedence. Administration agrees that signage will be required for education and enforcement. Signage will be considered as part of the implementation plan once the policy and bylaw is adopted. |
Prefer on-leash rule for popular beaches during summer day-time, not prohibited. |
Administration does not agree with this approach, and uphold the recommendation of dogs prohibited during the shortened summer date and time range. This is to reduce the risk of dog-related harm, as Council is required to do under the Dog Control Act, especially beaches frequented by children. |
Deliberation Topic 4: Summer date and time rules for dog access on beaches
Table 4 below outlines the comments raised by Council members during deliberations on 15 November 2018 and Administration’s assessment of each comment raised
Table 4: Deliberation comments and Administration’s assessment – Summer date and time rule for dog access on beaches
Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
Prefer date range of 15 December to 31 January, including public holidays, not 15 December to 28 February. |
Administration recommends that dogs remain restricted on popular beaches during the day from 15 December to 28 February, and all public holidays. Administration recognises that in February the district’s coastal areas can still be busier than normal due to warmer weather. |
Agree with time range of 10am to 5pm. |
Administration considers this time range as reasonable for both dog owners and people who use popular public beaches during the busy summer period. |
Deliberation topic 5: Limitations on number of dogs
Table 5 below outlines the comments raised by Council members during deliberations on 15 November 2018 and Administration’s assessment of each comment raised.
Table 5: Deliberation comments and Administration’s assessment - Limitations on number of dogs
Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
General consensus was to remove the number limit and rely on the Dog Control Act and general provisions in the bylaw. |
Administration considers that Clause 14 of the proposed bylaw already provides the Council with powers to reduce the number of dogs on a property if they are causing a nuisance, disturbance or injury to health. The Dog Control Act already regulates the confinement of dogs on private property, barking and rushing at wildlife. |
Deliberation topic 6: Responsible dog ownership
Table 6 below outlines the comments raised by Council members during deliberations on 15 November 2018 and Administration’s assessment of each comment raised.
Table 6: Deliberation comments and Administration’s assessment - Responsible dog ownership
Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
Council provided clear direction on including policy statements to support responsible dog ownership. This will include education programmes. |
Administration support this position in that Council needs to support responsible dog ownership |
Deliberation topic 7: Resourcing implementation
Table 7 below outlines the comments raised by Council members during deliberations on 15 November 2018 and Administration’s assessment of each comment raised
Table 7: Deliberation comments and Administration’s assessment - Resourcing implementation
Deliberation comment |
Administration’s Assessment |
Council provided clear direction on committing resources to implement the policy and bylaw subject to the annual planning process for the setting of rates and fees. |
Administration supports the commitment to investment in the implementation of the policy bylaw once adopted by Council. This includes planning out the long term implementation through the Annual Planning and Long Term Plan processes.
|
Additional Deliberation Topic: Additional Special Character Area
Waitangi Estate Lands
· Te Puke Ki Waitangi Taonga Kaitiaki Trust (submission DMC18/1219) requested that Council note within the Dog Management Policy that all Waitangi Estate Lands be listed as prohibited to dogs at all times.
· Through this submission Council were advised that The Waitangi Estate Lands is under a separate Act of Parliament (Waitangi National Trust Board Act 1932) which prohibits dogs from the Haruru Falls Bridge to the Waitangi Bridge.
Administration agrees with this request and recommends including the Waitangi Estate Lands, roughly from the Haruru Falls Bridge to the Waitangi Bridge as prohibited to dogs at all times. This can be listed in the Special Character rules.
Reason for the recommendation
To provide advice on matters raised at the 15 November 2018 deliberations and to continue the process of decision-making for Council’s Dog Management Policy and Bylaw 2018
3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
Decision-making on the policy and bylaw may have financial implications. Once the Policy and Bylaw are adopted the budget implications for implementing the Policy and Bylaw will be decided as part of the Annual Plan and Long Term Plan processes.

5.2 Alcohol Control Bylaw 2018 Deliberations
File Number: A2269688
Author: Emma Pilkington, Senior Policy Advisor
Authoriser: Darrell Sargent, General Manager - Strategic Planning and Policy
Purpose of the Report
To provide information for deliberations that will be used to inform decision-making for Council’s Alcohol Control Bylaw 2018 and individual alcohol control areas.
Executive Summary
· The Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw 2003 was last reviewed in 2012 and will expire on 18 December 2018 unless replaced.
· On 30 August 2018 the Council adopted a statement of proposal to consult on a new Alcohol Control Bylaw to replace the expiring bylaw. The proposed bylaw and alcohol control areas are in the most part the same as the bylaw currently in place.
· After the new bylaw is adopted in December, alcohol control areas can be amended by Council resolution with targeted community consultation as part of a future work programme. This would include working with NZ Police and stakeholders affected by new Council powers to apply alcohol control areas more broadly to public spaces.
Public submissions on the proposed bylaw were open from 8 September to 8 October 2018. Of the 46 submissions received, 42 supported the proposal and 4 opposed the proposal.This report provides information on key deliberation topics, including individual alcohol control areas in the Far North district. · Administration recommend that the Council agree to replace the existing bylaw with the proposed bylaw as consulted on, with the exception of:
o Changing the alcohol control area at Lily Pond and Tokerau Beach to apply 24 hours, seven days a week between 1 December and 31 January, and
o Changing the alcohol control area at Pukenui to include the wharf and to apply 24 hours, seven days a week all year round.
· These changes have been recommended to standardise hours and to respond to evidence of alcohol-related crime and disorder.
· Following deliberations on 27 November 2018, administration will make any necessary amendments and present the Alcohol Control Bylaw for Council’s consideration and adoption at the public meeting on 13 December 2018.
That the Council: a) Receives the Police Report in Attachment 1 and public submissions in Attachment 2. b) Agrees to continue the process of adopting the Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw to replace the expiring Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw. c) Approves all proposed individual alcohol control areas as contained in Attachment 3 for a final resolution at the December Council meeting, including to: i) Amend the alcohol control areas at Lily Pond and Tokerau Beach to apply 24 hours, seven days a week between 1 December and 31 January, and ii) Amend the alcohol control area at Pukenui to include the wharf and amend the control time to apply 24 hours, seven days a week all year round. d) Confirms that the Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw contained in Attachment 3 be presented to Council for a final resolution at the 13 December 2018 Council meeting. |
1) Background
The Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw 2003 was last reviewed in 2012 and will expire on 18 December 2018 unless replaced. On 30 August 2018, the Council adopted a statement of proposal to consult on a new Alcohol Control Bylaw to replace the expiring bylaw.
At the public meeting on 30 August 2018, administration also advised they would work with NZ Police and stakeholders affected by a new broader public place definition through targeted consultation as part of a future work programme from 2019.
Public submissions were open on the proposed bylaw from 8 September to 8 October 2018. 46 submissions were received. Two submitters spoke at hearings in Kaitaia on 18 October and three at Kaikohe on 24 October 2018.
Council now needs to consider the feedback received and to deliberate on whether any changes are required to the Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw and/or the proposed individual alcohol control areas.
This report summarises submissions and presents options for responding to them. Administration and Police representatives will be at the meeting to provide further clarity or advice if Council requests it.
Following deliberations on 27 November 2018, administration will make any necessary amendments and present the Alcohol Control Bylaw for Council’s consideration and adoption at the meeting on 13 December 2018.
2) Discussion and Options
Overview of submissions
Of the 46 submissions received, 42 supported the proposal and 4 opposed the proposal. Submissions can be viewed in full in Attachment 2. Many submissions offered additional comments, suggestions and considerations. Comments included that:
· All areas should have a 24 hour, seven days a week alcohol ban.
· Alcohol bans need to be extended to other tourist spots, have better policing and heavier penalties.
· Families should be able to go to the beach and have a sociable drink.
· The alcohol control areas are suitable and that no new alcohol control areas should be introduced.
· The Council needs to consider the impact of alcohol control areas on visitors to the area, particularly those travelling in motorhomes or caravans.
Administration advises that the application of alcohol control areas to Council camp sites in public places can be considered as part of a future work programme. In any case, Police have discretion about how they exercise their enforcement powers.
The consultation also asked of the community how the Council and community can work together to help reduce crime and disorder associated with drinking alcohol in our district’s public places. Suggestions included:
· Better Police resources for enforcement and monitoring like community patrols in busy months to prevent anti-social behaviours in these areas.
· Signage for alcohol bans need to be clear and consistent across all three districts in Northland.
· Education is key, need more media coverage so that people know the rules.
· Professional security companies need to be able to enforce alcohol bans and monitor security cameras to communicate with Police in well-known problem areas.
· Sale and supply of alcohol needs to be reduced from local convenience and liquor stores.
Legislative requirements
Under the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002), Council can prohibit or control the following activities in any specified public place through an alcohol control bylaw:
a) The consumption of liquor;
b) The bringing of liquor into that place;
c) The possession of liquor;
d) The presence or use of a vehicle in conjunction with any prohibition relating to liquor in a) to c).
Before the Council can replace the expiring Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw with the Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw, Council needs to be satisfied that each of the criteria from section 147A(3) of the LGA 2002 have been met. Section 147A can be read in full in Attachment 4.
Given that liquor bans are already in place, Police anecdotal evidence is important for meeting the criteria. Equally as important are communities’ stories and feedback about the alcohol controls. Administration comments and recommendations are set out in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Assessment of the Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw 2018 against section 147A(3) of the LGA 2002
Criteria |
Administration comment and recommendation |
(a) The bylaw can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms |
The proposed bylaw and alcohol control areas are in the most part the same as what is currently in place. The alcohol control areas are not district-wide or blanket bans on drinking alcohol in public places. The proposed alcohol control areas are in locations and townships where concerns and issues have been previously raised. Police have discretion about how they exercise their enforcement powers. The proposal was generally supported by 42 submissions, with 4 submissions against the proposal. For these reasons, administration considers that the proposed bylaw can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms. |
(b) A high level of crime or disorder (being crime or disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumption in the area concerned) is likely to arise in the area to which the bylaw is intended to apply if the bylaw is not made |
Police have provided a report (Attachment 1) on alcohol control areas around the district where they are concerned that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the control areas were discontinued. An assessment of each alcohol control area is provided in Table 2 below in light of both public submissions and Police comment.
|
(c) The bylaw is appropriate and proportionate in the light of that likely crime or disorder |
Administration considers that as a result of matters raised in submissions, the proposed bylaw is appropriate and proportionate in the light of the likely crime or disorder that would be caused by alcohol consumption and confirm that Council should retain the bylaw under section 147A(3). |
Future alcohol control work programme
Many submitters requested existing alcohol control areas be expanded or for new alcohol control areas to be introduced. These areas will be considered as part of a future work programme for control areas from 2019.
The future work programme will involve amending existing control areas and making new control areas, where there is evidence that a high level of crime or disorder can be shown to have been caused or made worse by alcohol consumption in the area. This is a requirement for new areas under section 147A(1).
The work programme will also include updating the control areas to align with the public place definition that came into effect with the LGA 2002 amendments in 2013, subsequent to the last review of the existing bylaw. The public place definition was expanded for alcohol controls to:
(a) mean a place that is open to or is being used by the public, whether free or on payment of a charge, and whether any owner or occupier of the place is lawfully entitled to exclude or eject any person from it; but
(b) not include licensed premises.
This means future alcohol controls can apply to privately-owned land that is accessible to the public like carparks within existing alcohol control areas across the district. These changes cannot be made as part of this decision-making process because Council did not consult on the inclusion of new public place areas.
The future work programme on new alcohol control areas would involve targeted engagement with communities and the Police to ensure there is appropriate evidence that shows crime or disorder has been caused or made worse by alcohol. These changes could then be made to the schedule of the bylaw by Council resolution (Clause 7.2 of the proposed bylaw).
Deliberation Topic 1: Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw
Overwhelming support was received for the proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw. Many comments, suggestions and considerations were offered in submissions to assist in the monitoring and enforcement of alcohol control areas in the district. The following reasonably practicable options are available to Council:
Option 1 – Continue with making the Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw to replace the expiring Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw
This option involves replacing the expiring bylaw with the new proposed bylaw that is substantially the same. Changes to existing alcohol control areas and the introduction of new control areas can be made as part of a future work programme through amendments to the bylaw schedule by Council resolution.
Option 2 – Allow the Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw to expire on 18 December 2018.
This option would involve allowing the existing bylaw and liquor bans to expire. This would mean that the consumption of alcohol would be permitted in all public areas of the district and there would be no ability for the Council to make alcohol control areas.
Recommendation
Administration does not recommend Option 2 because there is a risk that crime and disorder will arise because of alcohol consumption in the areas where there are currently liquor bans in place. Police do not support Option 2 because alcohol controls are a recognised tool for helping to reduce alcohol-related harm. For these reasons, administration recommends Option 1.
Deliberation topic 2: Alcohol control areas and times
To meet the requirements of section 147A(3)(b) of the LGA 2002, Police have provided a report on each existing alcohol control area (Attachment 1). The Council needs to be satisfied that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to return if the existing alcohol control areas were removed.
Table 2 below provides a high-level assessment of the existing alcohol control areas against the evidence of crime or disorder provided by the Police and community in submissions. The following reasonably practicable options are available to Council in relation to each area:
Option 1: Retain the alcohol control areas as publicly notified for consultation
Option 2a: Retain the alcohol control areas with amendments to area
Option 2b Retain the alcohol control areas with amendments to time
Option 3: Allow the alcohol control areas to lapse on 18 December 2018.

|
Administration agrees with Police that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the alcohol control is allowed to expire. Option 1 - Retain the alcohol control as publicly notified for consultation |
Pukenui |
Police: Disorder, fighting, assaults Community: Fighting and car accidents |
Administration agrees with Police that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the alcohol control is allowed to expire. Police commented there has always been a problem with commercial operators drinking at the wharf. It is a place of industry where machinery is operated, and where a Coastguard base is located, where there have been incidents of assault between people involved in industry and Coastguard activities. Administration recommends options 2a and 2b: Retain the alcohol control with amendments to area and time. This is because there is evidence of crime and disorder all year and there is support from the Police. Administration recommends including the wharf in the control area and amending the date and time to apply 24/7. The existing control time is: Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights between 3 December to 24 December from 9pm to 6am; 24 December from 9pm to 6am on 25 December; 25 December to 3 January from 6pm to 6am; Anzac Day Eve from 9am to midday on Anzac Day.

Taipa |
Community: Assault on Foreshore Road, Taipa Point Road and the section across from the Ramada Resort
|
Administration agrees with submissions that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the alcohol control is allowed to expire. Submission 15 suggested the need for lighting and footpaths to enable safe passage of people down Taipa Point Road to the beach, putting cameras in place, and the resort is willing to help. The submission also requested the control area be amended to include the privately owned grassy area near the sandspit, and ensure the grass verge adjacent to the beach is included. This area can be considered in the future work programme, as evidence would be required to justify including the area. Option 1 - Retain the alcohol control as publicly notified for consultation |
Taupo Bay |
Police: Litter, fighting, property damage, assaults |
Administration agrees with Police that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the alcohol control is allowed to expire. The northern end of the beach was not included in the control area map. Administration will correct this error in the map for adoption. Option 1 - Retain the alcohol control as publicly notified for consultation Administration notes there is an error in the map, it should include the northern part of the beach, this will be amended in the final bylaw for adoption. |
Tokerau Beach |
Police: Fighting, assaults and disorder
|
Administration agrees with Police that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the alcohol control is allowed to expire. Submission 23 (Tokerau Beach Residents and Ratepayers) support retaining the alcohol control area. Police have requested that the control apply 24/7 all year. Administration does not recommend making this control 24/7 all year as part of this decision-making process because evidence has not been provided that crime or disorder occurs throughout the year. Instead, evidence can be investigated further as part of the future work programme. Administration recommends option 2b: Retain the alcohol control and amend the control time to apply 24/7 during summer (1 December – 31 January). The existing control time is: Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights between 3 December to 24 December from 9pm to 6am; 24 December from 9pm to 6am on 25 December; 25 December to 3 January from 6pm to 6am; Anzac Day Eve from 9am to midday on Anzac Day. |
Waipapa |
Police: Fighting, assaults and disorder |
Administration agrees with Police that a high level of crime or disorder is likely to arise if the alcohol control is allowed to expire. Option 1 - Retain the alcohol control as publicly notified for consultation |
Reason for the recommendation
To commence the process of decision-making for Council’s Alcohol Control Bylaw 2018 and individual alcohol control areas.
3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
· More signage and enforcement has been requested by some submissions. Administration is working with the Kaipara District Council and the Whangarei District Council to provide consistent signage throughout Northland. District Services have already produced replacement sticker signs in both English and Te Reo, to cover old signage. Budget for this signage was not allocated, so cost savings were found and funds re-allocated from within Administration’s budget. The Police are responsible for the enforcement of the alcohol control areas.

Local Government Act 2002 – Section 147A
There are three options for making an alcohol control bylaw under section 147A of the Local Government Act 2002. The Proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw is being made under section 147A(3) because it is intended to replace the expiring bylaw to the same effect. Section 147A states in full that:
“(1) Before making a bylaw under section 147, a territorial authority—
(a) must be satisfied that it can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms; and
(b) except in the case of a bylaw that will apply temporarily for a large scale event, must also be satisfied that—
(i) there is evidence that the area to which the bylaw is intended to apply has experienced a high level of crime or disorder that can be shown to have been caused or made worse by alcohol consumption in the area; and
(ii) the bylaw is appropriate and proportionate in the light of that crime or disorder.
(2) Before deciding that a bylaw under section 147 should continue without amendment, a territorial authority must be satisfied that the level of crime or disorder experienced before the bylaw was made (being crime or disorder that can be shown to have been caused or made worse by alcohol consumption in the area concerned) is likely to return to the area to which the bylaw is intended to apply if the bylaw does not continue.
(3) Before making under section 147 a bylaw that is intended to replace an expiring bylaw and is to the same effect (or to substantially the same effect) as the expiring bylaw, a territorial authority must be satisfied that—
(a) the bylaw can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms; and
(b) a high level of crime or disorder (being crime or disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumption in the area concerned) is likely to arise in the area to which the bylaw is intended to apply if the bylaw is not made; and
(c) the bylaw is appropriate and proportionate in the light of that likely crime or disorder.
