Members need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Council 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 Democracy 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.

4.1         Speed Limit Bylaw Review - Consultation and Timeline Update

File Number:           A3254038

Author:                    Caitlin Thomas, Strategic Planner

Authoriser:             Darren Edwards, General Manager - Strategic Planning and Policy

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Strategy and Policy Committee to revoke a decision made at the Strategy and Policy Committee meeting on 15 June 2021 in relation to the dates for the public consultation on the speed limit review for the Kaitāia-Awaroa; Broadwood-Kohukohu areas, Moerewa urban areas and the Te Oneroa-Ā-Tōhe Ninety Mile Beach area and conclude (close) the consultation period on 24 August 2021.

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

·        On 15 June 2021 The Strategy and Policy Committee;

o   agreed to undertake consultation on the proposed changes to speed limits in the Kaitāia-Awaroa; Broadwood-Kohukohu areas; and Moerewa urban areas, as well as on Te Oneroa-Ā-Tōhe Ninety Mile Beach area and

o   confirmed that the submission period will last for a period of six weeks from 29 June 2021 to 10 August 2021.

·        After the Strategy and Policy Committee Meeting staff from both the NTA and FNDC discussed the feedback provided by elected members and concluded that a more considered public engagement exercise is needed. This conclusion was based on;

o   The size of geographic area being consulted on

o   The need to plan in drop in events and coordinate with elected members events in their respective wards that captured the numerous and dispersed communities impacted by the proposed speed limit changes.

·        As result of this discussion staff are recommending that commencement of consultation on the proposed speed limit changes be delayed by two weeks from what was approved at the 15 June Strategy and Policy Committee meeting. This will see consultation commence on 12 July 2021 and conclude (close) on 24 August 2021

·        With this proposed change hearings are expected to occur in late October instead of the previously communicated last September early October timeframes provided to the 15 June 2021 Strategy and Policy Committee meeting.

Moved:         Cr Kelly Stratford

Seconded:   Cr Felicity Foy

That the Strategy and Policy Committee:

c)      confirms that the submission period will last for a period of six weeks from 29th June 2021 to 10th August 2021.

Carried

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

The Speed Limits Bylaw 2019 is the statutory instrument that sets speed limits on local roads that Far North District Council is responsible for. As part of the national “Road to Zero” Road Safety Strategy, Council is required to review all speed limits in the district over time, with an initial focus on high benefit, self-explaining areas. The reviews are being led by the Northland Transportation Alliance (NTA) on a regional basis to ensure consistency across the region and to achieve cost savings. The Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2017 and the Local Government Act 2002 require Council, in its role as a Road Controlling Authority, to consult on proposed changes to speed limits.

A paper went to the June 15 2021 Strategy and Policy Committee meeting recommending that the Speed Limit Bylaw review in the areas of Kaitāia-Awaroa and Broadwood-Kohukohu, Moerewa urban area, and Ninety Mile Beach - Te Oneroa-Ā-Tōhe area commence on June 29 2021 and conclude (close) on 10 August 2021.

Public consultation

Section 2.5 of the Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2017 identifies the groups and organisations that must be consulted before setting a new speed limit. This includes any local communities that may be affected by the proposed speed limit. Consultation must be undertaken in accordance with Section 156 of the Local Government Act 2002.

The communities that make up the Kaitāia-Awaroa and Broadwood-Kohukohu areas, the Moerewa urban area, and Ninety Mile Beach - Te Oneroa-Ā-Tōhe are numerous and geographically dispersed.

Council is also required to ensure that there is reasonable opportunity for persons to present their views to Council in a manner that is appropriate to the preferences and needs of those persons.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

Option 1:  Public Consultation commences on 29 June 2021

Under this option public consultation will commence on 29 June 2021 and conclude (close) on 10 August 2021.

Advantages and disadvantages of commencing public consultation on 29 June 2021

Advantages

-     This decision is consistent with the Strategy and Policy Committee resolution from 15 June 2021.  It therefore requires no amendments to previous resolutions.

 

 

Disadvantages

-     Staff will not have time to build in the verbal feedback received during the Strategy and Policy Committee Meeting into the communications and engagement event planning for the public consultation for this round of speed limit reviews.

 

 

Option 2: Public Consultation commences on 12 July 2021

Under this option public consultation commences 12 July 2021 and concludes on 24 August 2021.

Advantages and disadvantages of commencing public consultation on 12 July 2021

Advantages

-     Taking onboard the feedback from the Elected Members in the Strategy and Policy Committee meeting, staff can use the additional two weeks to build into the communications and engagement planning events to cover the numerous and dispersed communities that are captured in the Kaitāia-Awaroa and Broadwood-Kohukohu review areas, the Moerewa urban review area, and the Ninety Mile Beach - Te Oneroa-Ā-Tōhe review area.

 

 

Disadvantages

-     The decision to delay public consultation by two weeks could be perceived negatively by the public and not reflect well on the decision-making processes in place at Council.

-     This requires an amendment to the resolution of the committee on 15 June 2021.

 

 

Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation

Council is required to consult the affected community when proposing new speed limits in accordance with Section 156 of the Local Government Act 2002. Under this recommendation Council will be prepared to effectively engage with what is a dispersed and high number of communities across the Kaitāia-Awaroa and Broadwood-Kohukohu review areas, the Moerewa urban review area, and the Ninety Mile Beach - Te Oneroa-Ā-Tōhe review area.

3) PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
