That the Strategy and Policy Committee endorse the Kaipara District Council Vaping Remit 2022. |
1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background
Councils proposing to submit a remit for consideration at the LGNZ Annual General Meeting must have the formal support of either 5 Councils, or of their Zone 1 Meeting. Kaipara District Council governance have circulated their proposed remit to their regional counterparts requesting their support at the Zone 1 meeting to be held on 9 May 2022. The deadline for submission of remits to LGNZ is Friday 20th May.
The Strategy and Policy Committee have the delegated authority to endorse remits on behalf of Council. The resolution of this meeting constitutes formal support as required under the LGNZ remit policy.
2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options
The remit application and supporting information is attached for reference. At a high level, the remit seeks to restrict the sale of vaping goods to R18 specialist vape stores and develop proximity limits to prevent the clustering of vaping product retailers and protect young people.
The remit is specific in that it refers to the particular circumstances experienced in Dargaville. In speaking to FNDC’s bylaw team, it appears our district also has many outlets where vaping products are available and therefore our circumstances are similar to those of KDC.
The remit proposed meets the requirement of the LGNZ remit policy insofar as it addresses matters at a national political level and is relevant to the sector as a whole.
Ultimately, LGNZ will assess each remit prior to a decision to progress (or not) to the AGM. Councils will have an opportunity to vote for this remit at the AGM, if it progresses to that stage.
Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation
Support the KDC Vaping Remit to LGNZ.
3) PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
